Missing 15$ usa billion.Utai Dzamara’s Abduction and many others were among what she highlighted. Woza leader encouraged Zimbabweans to forge ahead with peaceful demonstrations till the fall of a corrupt ZANU PF government. She urged that effective demonstrations could be held throughout the country instead of centralising them to escape police disruptions.
All political leaders, like in the current Mega Demonstration, were supposed to be in the forefront for its success. She also explained on how corruption is rife in the country and this element is seen being acitive in how road blocks are being staged by police, how Choppies owned by the Vice President is being operated. She deplored the Zanu pf govt for causing massive human suffering because of their bad policy such as imposing restrictions on importing essential goods meant for ordinary people’s survival, irespective of the constutution and also factionalism within the ruling party – the Mnangangwa function, G40, etc. However she was very happy that many people are seeing for themselves that this corrupt govt is not meant for the Zimbabwean masses.
