Since assuming office in November 2017, Emmerson Mnangagwa, the President of Zimbabwe, has failed to deliver genuine progress to the nation. His tenure has been marked by a lack of significant improvements and a worrisome erosion of democratic values. Zimbabweans find themselves mired in a state where voicing opposition or demanding justice comes at a heavy cost.

PEOPLE STANDING

One of the most concerning aspects of Mnangagwa’s regime is the absence of laws safeguarding the rights and freedoms of citizens. Those who dare to stand against the government face severe repercussions, with no freedom of speech to shield them. The citizens’ voices have been stifled, particularly those who have grown weary of a regime that has oppressed the people of Zimbabwe for over four decades.

Job Sikhala, a member of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), stands as a stark example of the government’s iron grip on dissent. Having been in custody for more than a year, Sikhala was arrested merely for speaking out against the ruling party Zanu-PF after the killing of an opposition activist. His imprisonment raises concerns about the government’s increasing crackdown on opposition politicians, silencing any form of resistance.

The economic landscape under Mnangagwa’s leadership has been marred by mismanagement, leading to a stagnating economy and a rapid devaluation of the national currency. Despite these failures, Mnangagwa audaciously seeks another term in office. The President’s actions, including the imprisonment of activists and the alleged looting of national resources, have left Zimbabwe financially drained and its citizens desperate for change.

To add to the grievances, the government has banned CCC rallies and employed violence against those opposing Zanu-PF, exacerbating the sense of powerlessness among citizens. The upcoming elections, like their predecessors, appear to be skewed in favor of the incumbent, further undermining the democratic process.

As the 2023 elections approach, it becomes increasingly apparent that it is time for Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down. The nation deserves a leader who upholds the principles of democracy, fosters economic growth, and respects the fundamental rights of its people. Zimbabweans yearn for a leader who will bring about genuine progress and unity, not one who clings to power through oppression and manipulation.

In conclusion, 2023 has so far been marked by a stagnation of progress in Zimbabwe under the leadership of President Emmerson Mnangagwa. The lack of laws protecting citizens’ rights, the silencing of dissent, and the economic mismanagement have left the nation in a dire state. The upcoming elections present an opportunity for Zimbabweans to demand real change and choose a leader who will steer the country toward prosperity and inclusivity. Only then can Zimbabwe break free from its current impasse and embrace a brighter future.

  1. People like you are ungrateful. ED has done so much ever since he took over, roads have been resurfaced, hospitals build but your problem is you want him to fix 37 years problems in 6 years. This is a stupid mindset. The Patriotic Bill was put it in place for people like you. You must be behind bars.

  2. You keep giving us reason to arrest unpatriotic Zimbabweans who tarnish the image of our country. We know where you are and its only 1 day when the colonizer will depot you back to your home country and we will receive you and happily take you to Chikurubi maximum prison. No matter how long you stay in England, you will never be British and we will deal with you one day. We know you chief.

  3. As if ED was not part of the problem. He was part of the problem and he can’t be the solution. Never and he is not the right person to lead Zimbabwe out of its economic struggles. ED must go.

  4. Zimbabwe is a geate natikn tarnished by people like you Edward. Zimbabweans aren’t happy all over the world because of people without direction, who lack a vision for a great country like Zimbabwe.

    We love our president and our sunshine Harare
