Zimbabwe’s main opposition Wednesday said it will roll out protests starting this week to try to force President Emmerson Mnangagwa to set up a transitional authority, even as the government warned against such action and a rights organization reported an escalation in abuses. Spokesman for the Movement for Democratic Change party Daniel Molokele said on Wednesday that the party has mobilized its supporters to protest on the streets in the capital, Harare, on Friday. The protests will spread to other cities next week, he said. “Every Zimbabwean will be marching to end this suffering until we achieve a legitimate people’s government that will begin to address the serious challenges facing the country,” Molokele told a press conference. “Until that is achiev
Zimbos, don't participate in the MDC Demo Here is why: 1. It's definitely going to be violent_* - MDC leaders know very well that a peaceful protest won't have an impact, they have already planned to unleash anarchy. 2. Police & soldiers will definitely intervene_* - The protest will be violent & police & soldiers will intervene. It won't end well, stay safe. 3. What's the point of the demo?_* - ED Mnangagwa invited Chamisa to join dialogue many many times but he is refusing. Does he want people to die first before joining the dialogue? Why should he use us unnecessarily yet he can join the dialogue? 4. After the demo, ED will still be President & Zanu Pf in power - Let's not be in deni

By Tichaona Dande|In his first independence speech dated April 18, 2018, Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa (ED) touched on bread and butter issues, painting a positive picture that re-ignited hope. Fast forward to April 18, 2019, the president re-cycled the same content- awash with same liberation rhetoric, callouts and promises. With so many sentiments emerging from his speech, the president doesn’t bring any new or unique political style or usher in a new trajectory, let alone conditions for nation building or healing.

However, well-placed sources in government say Mnangagwa is unlikely to be swayed by the Church which is reportedly getting its funding from foreign countries that are deemed hostile to Zimbabwe. The insiders said the nexus between Chamisa and the Church spooked Mnangagwa from attending the prayer meeting that was organised by the Ecumenical Church Leaders Forum. But with Mnangagwa plodding ahead with his engagements with opposition parties, albeit fringe players, Chamisa said the Zanu PF leader is behaving like an ostrich, burying his head in the sand when the economy is on its knee
