non violent resistance, Zvorwadza addresses crowds

Staff Reporter | National Vendors Union of Zimbabwe, chairman, Sten Zvorwadza has defied President Robert Mugabe’s directive banning national protests and on Monday went ahead to address people in central Harare.
Civil disobedience or non violent resistance is when citizens take it upon themselves to disobey certain laws, demands, and commands of a government, especially if they infringe on their rights and freedoms.

breaking fear taking courage to communities

For instance Mahatma Gandhi successfully employed civil disobedience during the Indian independence movement.

Last week, government ordered a halt on protests for two weeks, to ease public pressure after Mugabe had been pressurized by the opposition and the civil society, to step down.
Most of the  protests started  peacefully and later turned violent in response to police heavy handedness.
The defiant Zvorwadza, on Monday mobilised hundreds of people standing in banking queues waiting to withdraw their money where he encouraged them to continue demonstrating against Mugabe.
“ The police have no right to stop us from demonstrating because it is our constitutional right to do so,” Zvorwadza told people standing in the queue at POSB, corner Leopold Takawira and Nelson Mandela.
“We are saying that there is no such a thing called the banning of demonstrations because we see it as a way by the police of trying to stifle our right to demand for our money which disappeared from the banks”.
Meanwhile the urgent application made by Zvorwadza and others challenging the ban on protests has been postponed to a later date.
