No to 2030

Nomalanga Evangelista Ndlovu

TOWARDS the end of 2024, the nation of Zimbabwe woke up to the biggest doom and gloom of news that the President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa's allies  seeks to extend his term of office beyond 2030. 

 

Everyone had been hopeful and thinking that this tyranny dynasty will come to an end in 2028. 

 

The constitution clearly stipulates that everyone is mandated to rule maximum 2 terms. We had hope in the constitution, but it seems that these dictators are keen to keep averting the law and twisting it to suit their personal greedy interests.

 

Mnangagwa was behind the rot in ZANU PF as a personal advisor to the late former president Robert Gabriel Mugabe. He served the government in various capacities including foreign affairs, trade and commerce, judiciary services as well as secret service. 

 

The service was working behind the scenes to suppress anyone who opposed the regime. Many were killed, tortured and disfigured during the political violence which rocked the nation from the 1980s to date. 

Hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans have flocked out of the country running away from persecution, torture or to be killed. Most of us the suffering had just begun and will continue forever which will make us never see the place we once called home.

 

As a former Bulawayo regional board member of ZimRights who fought for justice and advocated for an end to political violence and inhuman torture of all those who opposed the regime. I was and still l am targeted by the same ZANU PF government and l don't see any hope of me ever going back to Zimbabwe.

 

Besides the political landscape the country major public services have gone downhill in the hands of the ZANU PF regime. 

 

The health care is non-existence and for some of us who are taking chronic medications which are supplied by USAID and after the announcements by the Trump government many Zimbabweans are not guaranteed to receive any of these lifesaving medications.

 

Basic services like electricity, water, health care and transport remain unreliable, and it gets worse by the day. For how long this regime will continue to destroy the little that is left of Zimbabwe.
