Civil Rights activist Linda Masarira has said it was sad that the people of Zimbabwe watch helpless as President Robert Mugabe and his family squander the the little available money of the nation.
She said the future of Zimbabwe is in our hands and 2016 saw the rise of social movements which shook the Zanu PF regime and led to incessant incarceration and police brutality on activists.
"Rome was not built in a day and neither will we get the results overnight. The struggle is real and for us to achieve the results we desire, we have to persevere, be tolerant with other, patient, respect each other, have love for one another and stand up for each other," she said.
"It is of paramount importance to cultivate love within us and all the other comrades nationwide and to remain United in our diversity against all the odds.
Our nonagenarian dictator Mugabe squanders billions every year travelling, millions on his birthday and the disgraceful Grace abuses state funds to fulfil her artificial desire for elegance at the expense of the livelihoods of the masses."
She said as active citizens we have the mandate to stop this madness and advocate for the Zimbabwe we want.
"It is now time to walk the talk and demand accountability from all public officials henceforth. Let us all move out of our comfort zones and fight for our Zimbabwe together. It is also critical for every major city or town to participate in this program and come up with ways of protesting unique to their location and situation," she said.
"We are the vanguard of the future. A new Zimbabwe is possible in our lifetime. #21daysofactivism."
