YellowThread:
1. Yellow citizens, we continue to be humbled by the expressed desire for change & transformation, to be ushered by your citizens' movement, as led by the Citizen's Change Champion, President @nelsonchamisa . The people of Gokwe are just as clear
2. As we updated earlier in the morning, the regime employed all sorts of tactics to ensure the #YellowGokwe rally didn't go ahead. Beyond police perjury in the courts, they went on to defy a High Court order to allow the Citizen's Rally to go on.
3. With heavy armory which almost resembled a war, the police, unprovoked & perhaps possessed & unhinged, displaced citizens with tear smokes, poisoned water & shamboks
4. The determination of the citizens in rural Gokwe demystified the propaganda that we are an urban based party. The state responded to their miscalculation, by eventually DOUBLED their initial deployment of tankers, yet citizens couldn't be deterred still
5. While still at the Tobaiwa homstead paying last respects to the family, over the loss of Kwekwe's beloved ex-Mayor, the Citizen's President received briefing on the political developments in Gokwe.
6. The message was we must “go back to Harare". With dexterity, the response from your President Nelson Chamisa was equally clear, "all reads lead to Gokwe, if we are to die for the cause, let it be."
7. The defiance of the state apparatus ensured that the President's convoy was slowed down by over 11 roadblocks. Regardless, we eventually had a triumphant entry in Gokwe.

Matebeleland South: A Yellow Thread:

1. Fellow citizens, we continued our Matebeleland South program today to paint the nation Yellow. President @nelsonchamisa addressed thousands of Citizens in this part of the country as we press a gear up towards a democratic breakthrough.

2. Our citizen's engagements started with an early morning rally deep in rural Umzingwane in Sibomvu. In this beautiful land, the President was welcomed by a jovial and energetic citizenry and after an eloquent address he quickly introduced our movement's constituency and council… https://t.co/nW4xW4qcHItwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

3. There, we met an existing mixture of the elderly, youth, women, who continue to defy a range of odds to champion our collective cause.

The movement is certainly capable of winning, and winning BIG, in Umzingwane.

Excitingly, part of our candidates is a popular Olympic star,… https://t.co/aVQxnHQ9pktwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

1] ON ZANUPF THREATS

Regrettably, we take notice of the deepening crisis of politically motivated violence, and threats of the same, particularly coming from ZanuPF, against our movement, its change champions; citizens; and the broader pro-democracy movement.
2] We particularly equally take notice of the failure of our police to, as per their constitutional duties, intervein against such disturbances.

We equally take notice of the use of state institutions, to actually persecute the actual victims of politically motivated violence
3] We reject the invitation, to seat idle & watch, as the country is turned into an Animal Farm. The law must apply equally
It's unacceptable that our comrades find themselves behind bars, over untested allegations, being noticeably ignored by our police, where ZanuPF is involved

MOREBLESSING ALI: A Thread
Ms Moreblessing Ali (47 years of age) is a strong member of the Citizens’ Coalition for Change who is a community leader in Ward 21, Chitungwiza North. She is the mother of two children and has been involved in various community building activities.
On the night of the 24th of May 2022, it is reported by an eyewitness who knows Moreblessing well that she was seized and forcibly shoved into a motor-vehicle by Pius Jambo who is a member of Zanu. It is alleged that he is the half-brother of Simba Chisango, who is a Zanu leader.
They are both known for using violence and terror in the community. Moreblessing Ali’s family was informed of the enforced disappearance on the 25th of May 2022 whereupon an official police report was made at Makoni Police Station by the CCC.

1] #YellowThread: Kwekwe Central
Exactly 91 days later, the City of gold once again turned yellow, as Change Citizens thronged Amaveni stadium to engage the CCIC, who came to thank them for staying true to the promises made on Feb 27th, a few kms away, in Mbizo
2. The #CitizensAppreciationRally was hot on the heels of a similar event, less than 24 hours back, in Binga, where the baTonga citizens, in their thousands, congregated to reaffirm that ngaanjile mulombe, at an event otherwise organized to celebrate our triumph, last February
3. Enter the Change Champion in Chief. The Leader of the Change movement was greeted with genuine love & reaffirmation of the trust in his vision & leadership. The expression of a solid, genuine relationship with the citizens was once more made clear.

Yellow Thread: Binga Hails.
Fellow Africans today the yellow movement as led by the Champion Chief President @nelsonchamisa was in Binga, the objective was to thank and celebrate the tenacity, love and solid support for the Citizens movement.
This was hours after the state was petrified by the Champion in Chief’s visit to Chief Mabikwa’s homestead to pay his last respect to the late Parliamentarian. They feared that the people will go frenzy. To the regime it’s all about politics rather than Ubuntu,culture and love.
Be that as it may, we proceeded to the Zambezi river basin, in Siabhuwa, it immediately become clear that the people of Zimbabwe want change and that it as an urgent question that can’t be postponed any further.

8. The Citizen's President was met with thousand of displaced citizens, who self organized to greet their Leader. We turned the banned rally into a walkabout, engaging thousands of pocked citizens, at different stops.
9. Whereas we have never had any illusions, the resilience of the citizens of Gokwe fortified our resolve. Together, we confronted blatant lawlessness with restraint, & triumphed.
10. To the people of Gokwe, particularly thousands of millennial who were the last crowd we engaged, the Citizen's President was clear, "I will be back". Indeed, we will mobilise again & gather in our Cotton Town.
