By Farai D Hove | President Nelson Chamisa on Friday dropped a bombshell on his counterpart Emmerson Mnangagwa who has been abusing citizens since the 2018 elections.

Having used the security forces against citizens and killing over 25 people since 1 Aug 2018, Mnangagwa has continued to utilize the state aparratus to intimidate civilians. Mnangagwa has also continued to blame the opposition for causing the economy to fail, at the time however when his military crackdown against civilians has cost the nation billions of US dollars. The 1 Aug shootings alone cost the country 16 billion US dollars according to figures at the Finance Ministry presented before the Motlanthe Commission in 2018.

Last week the state security minister Owen Ncube rose up to issue a statement accusing the opposition of trying to push back the country to the 2018 polls, saying the economy is being held back by the MDC Alliance, which albeit has less than a third of seats in parliament.

Writing early morning, President Chamisa said Mnangagwa will lose the war to citizens. He said:

“The incumbent’s illegitimacy is confirmed by the excessive use of force & coercion against citizens, ” he said.

He continued warning that, “faith in brute force often mislead unpopular rulers to mistakenly rely on guns, imprisonment,teargas and terror to subjugate & muzzle citizens. Ultimately,citizens will always win! “
