Zanu PF member and MDC youth leader speak out after Mnangagwa's anti-sanctions march flopped

.Zanu PF activist Alex Gakanje has said the flopped anti-sanctions march held on Friday was not about numbers but about sending a clear message to America and the European Union (EU).


The march a brainchild of SADC was meant to put out a united message by the region against sanctions on Zimbabwe which are being blamed for causing the current economic decay.But besides the over 200 free buses availed to bus people from the country’s 10 provinces, primary and secondary school pupils, a soccer match between Dynamos and Highlanders as well as musical gala by the country’s finest musicians,


the event still failed to attract a meaningful crowd that could fill the giant National Sports Stadium.Even with the roping in of POLAD members such a Lovemore Madhuku, Taurai Mteki and others, as well as controversial Linda Masarira still the numbers were too low to prevent President Emmerson Mnangagwa from the embarrassment of walking into and addressing a virtually empty stadium.In an interview,


Zanu activist Gakanje said they were not particularly looking for numbers at the march adding that it was the message which was important at the end of the day.“This was not at all about numbers but sending a clear message to our oppressors,” he said.Gakanje added that failing to fill the stadium is not an issue as Premier Soccer League teams are also failing to draw huge crowds to their matches.


However, MDC Youth Assembly spokesperson Stephen Chuma said he was not surprised by flop adding that Zimbabweans had better things to do than the march.“It is not surprising that the Zanu PF so-called anti-sanctions march flopped. Zimbabweans are currently faced with problems like electricity outages, high prices, and water shortages hence their choice to stay away from this non-event.

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...

The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
