        So far this morning the police have suspended the right of Zimbabweans from demonstrating against the corrupt electoral body ZEC. Zimbabwe is back to pre-Mugabe error(era). @Wamagaisa @pmnangagwa @LynNemudonhi @revesaymutede @TalithaDube1 @TichRay @Munashe_mb @karidzaj @NzouJnr

        Impossible. We saw all these shenanigans in 2008 and they didn’t work. But we should never be subjected to this nonsense in a supposedly modern democratic society

        on a serious NOTE, the MDC-Alliance must not mistake the new administration's tolerance for weakness, that will be a fatal mistake. The threats of violence, should remain just that, threats, however needless.

        Its not intimidation only, the ruling party are wolves in sheep skin they even kill. No reforms were implemented but elections are due next week, they are banning demostrations. What kind of democracy is that.
