I greet and salute you all esteemed Leadership in the struggle
Zimbabweans never legitimize the 2008 nor 2013 but our biggest challenge we don't make laws in Zimbabwe as we are just takers. Zimbabweans' best opportunity that we can have is to make sure that we mobilize ourselves now,be unite and push for Election Reforms in Zimbabwe for 2018 General Election or otherwise we end up singing our own song as the Zanu-Pf failed clueless is now deserting upon us as it have announced the removal of all Vendors in Town streets.
The Government's intervention to control vending that has gone out of control especially in Harare was largely expected but the involvement of security forces evokes bitter memories of Operation Murambatsvina 10 years ago.
I think the Vendors must start resistance and then we join and finish them off, we can not afford to just standby and pretend as if nothing is happening otherwise they will think that we the cowards who will leave them to do as they please, no no no this time they should meet their match. More resistance today will be more freedom tomorrow.
The Revolutionary against Mugabe Regime should start from there in the streets on Monday and the Dictator will fall, let him try to evict those people, he will trigger his downfall.
Government must firstly address the reason why people have resorted to infesting the streets selling all sorts of wares. The reason is because industry has shut down because of lack of investment that needs attention before removing Vendors. Investors continue to shun the country because of inconsistent policies, corruption which leads to unnecessary red tape to potential investors, political instability, and because the international community is not willing to engage a clueless Zanu-Pf Government.
For as long as the root issues are not addressed, they will chase the vendors today but they will still pop up tomorrow and or it can be the beginning of a National Revolution.
United we stand
Divided we fall
Let's demand Deeds not words!!!
