(1/22) Saying people shouldn't have protested the way they did in Warren Park yesterday because they flouted #Covid19Zim lock-down regulations is no different with a mother telling a child not to report rape because it is perpetuated by a breadwinner.

2/22The abuses that were demonstrated against had to be confronted physically because they are being committed physically with absolute disregard to #Covid19Zim lock-down regulations! It is the duty of revolutionaries to act & confront such problems when most are still wondering!

(3/22) Instead of using the lock-down to combat #Covid19Zim the government held public meetings convened by minister July Moyo on 30 April in Chilonga Chiredzi to force the eviction of 10 000 residents from their land to pave way for the Chinese lucerne project.

4/22This move which will see 1 200 families being forced off their land,destruction of their culture & heritage, their lives & livelihoods is being IMPLEMENTED DURING #Covid19Zim lock-down & you expect the people to wait up till after lock-down to defend themselves?
#PeoplePower

(5/22)Instead of using the #Covid19Zim lock-down to focus on the welfare of citizens #ZanupfMustGo is abusing it to molest democracy. Controversial court judgements & political moves which do not help us in any way to fight the corona pandemic are being effected.
#PeoplePower

(6/22)2.6 million Zimbabweans who voted for @nelsonchamisa & @mdczimbabwe MPs & councillors surely can't be expected to wait till end of lock-down & defend their will they registered in the 2018 elections when it's being subverted during the lock-down!

7/22) #ZanupfMustGo is demolishing flea markets & home-based industries during the #Covid19Zim lock-down thus denying millions of informal employees hope for survival post the corona pandemic,& they expect the people to wait till lock-down ends to defend livelihoods?
#PeoplePower

8/22 #ZanupfMustGo is majoring on minors & minoring on majors; Bought more baton sticks & teargas for the police VS protective clothing for nurses,expensive vehicles for non-medical 'covid taskforce teams' VS testing kits - & the results are: 22 000 arrests VS 11 000 Covid tests

9/22 The atrocities being perpetrated by soldiers & police during this lock-down are of earth-shattering proportions; according to @RSF_en Zimbabwe is Africa's biggest press freedom violator in connection with #COVIDー19. Citizens are exposed to extortion & torture.
#PeoplePower

10/22Critical question is when #ZanupfMustGo can't even halt it's insatiable appetite to violate human rights during the #Covid19Zim lock-down,can the people wait till the lock-down is over for them resist the alarming rate of human rights abuses by those that must protect us?

(11/22) It is apparent that health practitioners who are our frontline defenders in the #Covid19Zim fight are vulnerable. Their safety & welfare is not top priority in light of the various donations made to help Zimbabwe fight the pandemic. There is absolutely no transparency.

(12/22) #ZanupfMustGo is abusing #Covid19Zim donations during the lock-down & you expect the people to wait till the lock-down is over for them to stop the #Corruption? Right now nurses are incapacitated & on strike over basics like gloves & masks

#ZanupfMustGo

13/22The impact of #Covid19Zim lock-down in the ghetto is of earthshattering proportions;Expensive prices,no food,no water,high & ever increasing cost of basics like electricity & DATA. #ZanupfMustGo is not even cushioning the us yet we are some the most taxed people in the world

(14/22) The people also require access to medical attention & medicines for diseases which existed before the pandemic but government is in habitual dereliction of duty; Over 300 have died of malaria,a treatable 13th century disease whose prevention & cure are known.
#PeoplePower

15/22Critical question is are the people expected to ignore hunger,disease,thirst,corruption,rights abuses,the #ZanupfMustGo government's in-competencies through willful acts of omission & commission inspired by selfish & self-centered motives during the lock-down?
#PeoplePower

(16/22) If the atrocities being committed by #ZanupfMustGo during the lock-down pose greater a threat than #Covid19Zim to Zimbabwe & its people do the #people have to wait till the lock-down is over when the damage is already done & irreversible?

#ZanupfMustGo

17/22) Right now 1200 families in Masvingo,Chiredzi under headmen Chilonga & Masivamele & Chief Sengwe are being unprocedurally robbed of their land by @edmnangagwa who is taking advantage of the #Covid19Zim to give the land to his Chinese friends so they grow grass to feed cows.

18/22Right Now 2.6 million Zimbabweans who voted for @mdczimbabwe's @nelsonchamisa, MPs & councillors are having their will subverted by institutions that are captured by #ZanupfMustGo.

They made their choice in the ballot but are now forced to accept that which they rejected.

(19/22) Right Now soldiers & police are flagrantly violating human rights through robbing,torturing & terrorizing citizens under the guise implementing #Covid19Zim.

Right Now over 22 000 citizens have been arrested with multitudes tortured & terrorized by @PoliceZimbabwe.

(20/22) Right Now the people are exposed to hunger,deaths over treatable diseases. Health practitioners like nurses are on strike due to lack of basics like hand gloves & face masks yet they are the national front-line defense personnel in the war against #Covid19Zim.

21/22Right Now @JoanaMamombe,@ceechimbiri2 & @MarovaNetsai were arrested by @PoliceZimbabwe yet they are being held incommunicado.

We can't wait for the lock-down to end so we look for them & it will be too late.

THE TIME IS NOW OR NEVER!

22/22 If #ZanupfMustGo is taking advantage of the lock-down to make & effect decisions that will be irreversible then we have no option but to resist now!

#PeoplePower is stronger than the people in power & we the people are the ones we have been waiting for.
