Political commentator Jephias Chikwanda has said Zimbabwe is a country of cowards as the people allowed to be ruled by President Robert Mugabe for the rest of his life even when he showed clear signs of failure to rule.
Chikwanda posted on Facebook that Zimbabwean feared to confront Mugabe.
"Zimbabwe is a country of cowards,what I don't understand is why we have let Robert Mugabe rule us for all his life if he is not a king. Why do we let people do this to us and we do nothing about it?" he asked.
"Why do we allow such atrocities silently,why do we allow people to have such powers until we are afraid of them? My conclusion is that we are a country of cowards."
Ralph Gadzikwa said courage is not advocacy for war.
"It is the ability of citizens to stand for what is right and fight for it by whatsoever means. In fact education is one tool that can be utilised," he said.
"The problem with Zimbabwe is that most Southern African States had an open border policy which made it easy for skilled people to choose a safety valve than confront the regime."
