Today’s protests come at a time when civil frustration is rising over government’s mismanagement of the economy, corruption, among many other failures of the Zanu PF administration.
Carrying the Zimbabwe Flag, which has become a symbol of peaceful civic action, the majority of the demonstrators sang Ishe Komborera Africa, a song that is associated with revolution and emancipation from oppression.
Although ant-riot police officers have been deployed at various corners of the city centre ostensibly to intimidate the protesters and crush the civic action after President Robert Mugabe’s recent public pronouncements that police were supposed to descend on any protesters, they (protesters) are cheerfully singing as they gather around, a feat of defiance, which has become the new form of civic action, the protesters.
