Calls for Mugabe to go escalate as arrest of civic groups mount

Calls for President Robert Mugabe to resign are escalating as the state continues to silence the dissenting voices in Zimbabwe in the aftermath of the July 6 National Shutdown.

Political commentator Rejoice Ngwenya has added his voice calling for the nonagenarian leader to call it quits in the face of escalating economic crisis and civil unrest due to his failure to run the country and dictatorial approach to the people legally demanding their rights.

Ngwenya in a sarcastic manner after posting Mugabe's photo on Facebook said, "‪#ThisMan‬ - if anybody sees this man - whether he is walking, driving or flying, kindly pass on this message to him: the people of Zimbabwe requests that he resign today and make way for a democratically elected leader. #Robonga."
