This is what they have done. Thanks to the neighbourhood vadzodzima moyo nema buckets.
We managed to get out.

Meanwhile, Musengezi is expected in court this Monday, 03 October 2022 for the continuation of the case in which he is challenging the legitimacy of President Mnangagwa.
He claims that Mnangagwa’s ascendancy to power in 2017, following the ouster of former leader Robert Mugabe, was unconstitutional therefore must be nullified by the courts
