Farai Dziva|The relentless persecution of Hon Joana Mamombe indicates that Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration is afraid of the power of the future, President Nelson Chamisa has said.

The harassment of women and the youth is a threat to democratic tenets, according to President Chamisa.

“The unlawful detention and sending to Chikurubi maximum prison of Youth leader and MP Hon Mamombe is another new low, a classic case of continuing victimization.

It is clear that the State which is implicated in this case cannot deliver justice. We demand an INDEPENDENT INQUIRY!

This continued persecution of these emblems of change is a direct threat to democratic tenets and freedom,” President Chamisa wrote on Twitter.

” Oppressors fear the power of the future that the young women represent. We stand with the young and fearless. We fight for their right to dignity, freedom and justice.

The three represent what Zimbabwe could be if we made room for the NEW.They are women of courage and conviction.

The trio and all young pple are the embodiment of a New Zimbabwe we can create in which young women can freely participate in political activity and nation building,” he added.
