In a rallying call for justice and political freedom, Gift Ostallos Siziba, former Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), spokesman, has vehemently challenged President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration to release political activists unjustly detained.
Siziba’s remarks came during a press conference on Tuesday, where he passionately defended the rights of the arrested officials.
“Hon Chibaya and Senator Timba are no criminals,” Siziba declared. “They have been arrested because of their belief and conviction that Zimbabwe must be free! They bear the scars of fighting dictatorship.”
Highlighting the broader implications of political repression, Siziba urged citizens to unite in resistance against what he termed a dictatorship.
“We cannot capitulate. We have to fight back!” he asserted, drawing attention to the hashtags #FreeChibaya, #FreeTimba, and #FreeAvondale78, which have gained traction among supporters advocating for the release of those detained.
Siziba’s bold statements reflect a growing frustration among opposition groups in Zimbabwe, as they continue to face systematic challenges and oppression.
As the political landscape remains tense, calls for solidarity and action resonate within the community, urging citizens to stand firm in their pursuit of democracy and human rights.
The citizens’ stance underscores a pivotal moment in Zimbabwean politics, as activists and citizens alike confront the ongoing struggle for freedom and accountability in governance.
