Job Sikhala the MDC-99 leader is urging Zimbabweans not to observe Independence Day as a protest against President Robert Mugabe.
Instead, Sikhala is urging Zimbabweans to "mourn the loss of our true independence" under 32 years of Mugabe's uninterrupted rule.
Sikhala is urging supporters to boycott the festivities, insisting that Zimbabwe is not independent under Mugabe's "tyrannical" rule.
Speaking to the Voice of America's Studio 7, Sikhala said Robert Mugabe is a tyrannical oppressor masquerading as a liberator who must be shunned by all right thinking people.
Sikhala added that Mugabe has monopolised Independence Day to equate it to himself and his party to suit his own delusional agendas. Those who gate-crashed it, we have seen them being ridiculed last year.
"This day, or the so-called Independence, is a day of mourning, mourning the loss of our true independence and also the loss of our true heroes who died fighting for our freedom such as Josiah Tongogara, Herbert Chitepo and Lookout Masuku amongst others, added the MDC-99 leader.
