Our only crime was putting on yellow t-shirts, which they alleged that it was disorderly conduct & later changed to obstruction. Which they saw fit to subject us to brutal torture & degrading human conditions during our detention.Nevertheless, the struggles continues unabated.

Fellow compatriots, this serves to extend my thousand thanks to Prof Welshman Ncube. We are greatly indebted to his contribution to this struggle for democracy, notably,with his recent fight for the Bulawayo 12 MPs who eventually emerged victorious.Salute Prof!

Job Sikhala’s lawyers are moving for a televised/live-streamed trial based on the accused’s right to a fair & public trial. Many members of the public wish to witness the proceedings but cannot do so because of heavy riot police presence & space limitations.
We have walked this road before, we don’t easily get intimidated. Political persecution is an incentive to this struggle. We are more energized and determined to trounce them on 26 March 2022 & undoubtedly in July 2023.

With great respect to efforts of bringing about order and to de-congest Harare-CBD. Charging a whole exorbitant fine of USD132,(Instead of just allowing one to pay parking fee of the exceeded time or the arrear), is not only extremely anti-people, but grossly unreasonable.
