ZIMBABWEANS in the diaspora must fight for their right to vote and must lobby their families who depend on them for survival, and the businesses they do business with, to push for the diaspora vote in 2023.
If President Emmerson Mnangagwa is genuine, he should support the action by the diaspora to push his thick-headed colleagues in Zanu-PF and the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission to respect the diaspora vote.
Zanu-PF officials who are making relentless efforts to block the diaspora vote must know that elections without the diaspora vote will be disputed.
Diasporans contribute immensely to the country's economy, as has been acknowledged by Zanu-PF spokesperosn Christopher Mutsvangwa, Mnangagwa himself as well as Finance minister Mthuli Ncube.
Why not give those people who contribute so much to the economy their right to vote?
Zimbabweans in the diaspora, please demand what is yours by right.
