It’s a sad day for democracy as Makomborero Haruvizishe has been convicted for crimes of conscience which do not constitute a criminal offence.

It is sad that Democracy Activists are being persecuted by prosecution but the perpetrators of gross human rights violations and violence are walking scot-free.The 1 August killers and those who participated in the January killings are enjoying the fruits of this nation and walking scot-free yet
those who fight for the people’s freedoms and liberties are incarcerated without any remorse whatsoever.

They are being persecuted for calling on the Regime to respect and impliment the national Constitution and to respect and serve the pen and not their selfish egos or their party’s interests.

We condemn the weaponisation of the law by the regime in a brazen attempt to silence the voice of reason.

It is not a crime to call for checks and balances from the regime neither is it a crime to demonstrate against the regime or to petition it.

The Regime is slowly exfoliating its liberation skin to reveal its Ian Douglas Smith skin and DNA.

We shall not be cowed into silence by prosecution neither shall we surrender our rights to the devil for thirty pieces of silver.

Experience has taught us that freedom does not come on a silver platter,we stand ready to pay the ultimate price so that our children and grandchildren shall live in a beautiful,prosperous and peaceful Zimbabwe that our fathers and siblings fought for.We acknowledge that it is not a walk in the park but we are ready to trudge on.

ITS NOT YET UHURU

IT’S A LONG WALK TO FREEDOM
