Dictatorships are built on a strong foundation of a steady supply of foot soldiers. Soldiers, police, Secret police, prison guards; young people with no personal conviction or moral compass.
But these young people come from our homes, our schools and neighbourhoods. We know most of them, their friends and families.
That is why I would like to propose a reach out campaign starting immediately. If you have a family member serving in the uniformed services- reach out to them. Speak truth in love. Let them understand the real impact of blindly following orders.
I'd like to challenge people with a background in marketing. Your skills are useful in influencing human behaviour. Now more than ever your skills are needed as we are in a new kind of war, not with guns but information. I'm appealling to you for help

Zimbabwe- we are under assault. The contempt the government has for the people of Zimbabwe is shocking. To them we are worthless. We are suppose to suffer in silence and put up no resistance.
Kuda Tagwirei is a reminder that the law does not apply to Zanuy PF. There is no shame in this government's actions because they do not fear the people. There are no consequences for their actions.
Until Now.
I'm challenging us all to stand up for ourselves. We know the challenges posed by covid-19 but this government has botched the fight. Nurses have no PPE and people are dying because of the poor services. If we do nothing we will all die.

1. Good morning Zimbabwe,
As the lockdown begins I just want to encourage us all to remain positive. This is a new year, a chance for us to grow and become stronger as a people.
2. We know what needs to happen in Zimbabwe. We know that Zimbabwe needs new leaders to help us navigate these very difficult times.
3. It is in this moment of crisis that our voices must be heard. We are a nation paralyzed by the greed and recklessness of a few. Drastic measures are needed to lift this nation from the ashes.

We have very serious issues we to address ASAP. If new covid-19 variants continue to emerge our health care system in its current shape will be buried. Stunted economic growth will prolong the difficult conditions we are experiencing.
An Emergency meeting needs to be convened to save the lives of Zimbabweans and to ease the pain so many are going through.
The international community will not support the Zanu PF government financially because of the holes in the system as a result people will continue to suffer.

1. We are in a desperate state as a country because some people thought they could get away with looting and plundering the country without consequences.
2. Instead of strengthing the country over a significant span of 40yrs Zanu PF policies and actions have left Zimbabwe vulnerable, exposing millions to untold suffering.
3. Such actions cannot be without consequences. The reckless leadership of late president Robert Mugabe and now @edmnangagwa are no laughing matter. Our people have suffered terribly.

Good morning Zimbabwe. Thank you again to all the people messaging me to be part of the anti-corruption movement. My desire is to build teams of people for different focus areas to apply pressure on the system.
1. Judiciary- work to identify and expose compromised justices, state interference of court cases. Persecution of opposition figures and journalists. Fight for s59 of the constitution as a key part of the fight against corruption.
2. ZACC- work closely with ZACC to communicate status of current investigations. Identify weaknesses and strengths.

1. Some of you have expressed the desire to be part of this anti-corruption revolution. I'm reaching out to you again.
31julymovement.com
2. Send a DM to me or 31julyoffcial Twitter handle. I'd like to build the first citizen led anti-corruption force, with the requisite technical experts setting a precedent for the region.
3. Fighting corruption and human rights abuses is not a fight for the government, it is our fight. CITIZENS are the watchdog needed to keep governments in line.
