No going back-pastor Mawarire…as he defies Mugabe, promises more demos

Unbowed clergyman and leader of the #flag campaign ,pastor Evan Mawarire who has been leading a peaceful campaign against Zimbabwean's deepening rot-says he will call for more protests until president Robert Mugabe and hi ruling Zanu-PF listen to the cries of the people.

Speaking with a South African television news station, the much harassed Baptist preacher said despite the growing vitriol that was being directed at him and other pro-democracy activists by panicking authorities, abandoning the struggle was not an option.

Mawarire spoke as former Zanu-PF's Stalwart and intelligence minister ,Didymus Mutasa - now a senior official in former vice president Joyce Mujuru's Zimbabwe People's First said the Long suffering Zimbabweans should abandon their fear if they hoped to bring leadership change in the country and improve their lot.

At the same time an angry Mugabe savaged Mawarire and other like - minded clergy man when he addressed thousands of bussed-in Zanu-PF supporters and government workers who gathered at the national heroes acre in Harare yesterday at the burial of the late retired top civil servant, Charles Utete.
