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.
10. We found hopeful citizens & left behind hopeful citizens, in Gokwe. In contrast, on our way back, we were met with 30 odd buses with dejected & hungry looking people, forced and bused from Gokwe & surrounding areas.
11. Fellow Citizens tomorrow, the Yellow alternative colours Kwekwe. We will not tire. The Citizen's President clear on the task at hand.We will triumph because citizens are at the center, the oppressed are in charge and God is with us. Remember to Register to vote Yellow night!

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

#GokweUpdate
1. Yellow citizens, from January 24th, we activated a deliberate political program with the dual task of introducing the new and campaigning for our by-elections elections candidates as is the norm in any democratic jurisdiction
2. To that end, after the Yellow Sunday rally in Harare, the Midlands Province, on behalf of your movement complied with legal requirements, and duly notified the authorities of our intention to hold a rally in Gokwe, on the 26th of February.
3. For the avoidance of doubt, that compliance was met with approval to proceed with our yellow gathering. We dutifully activated preparatory activities which include mobilizing supporters, deployment of our security, PA systems & other technical requirements

On the Task Before Us

The task on our shoulders as young people comrades is to increase the cost of dictatorship and continue to build a credible alternative.

The path to change has never been an easy one. It requires toughness, honesty and truth telling.
There is no struggle without its Morrison Nyati, but it is out of those experiences that we learn & unite together to launch a credible fight against an oppression
This fight requires unity, unity is key- it is to me the only buffer against perrenial intrusion & political decay.
Unity to me is that of progressive forces that form the Social contract. A National project without a consensus of progressive forces yields nothing but narrow individual goals. It benefits not the ordinary men and women who are & should be in the centre of the NDR.
