BREAKING VIDEO: Kenyaโs Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to win a regular marathon in under two hours, setting a new world record at the London Marathon in 1:59:30!
Kenyans invented runningโข
We are at a watershed moment. Mnangagwa and his cabal are determined to ramrod the amendments to the constitution illegally. The people who are supposed to lead the resistance from parliament to senate have long abdicated that responsibility. Civic society is decimated and traditional pro-democracy partners hijacked. We are on our own!
In the past few months we have been pondering on the way forward. Do we just fold our hands? Do we wait for a messiah? What do we do?
In these questions, we also asked ourselves; are our differences bigger than the country? Are our egos more important than our constitution? Both times, the answer was an emphatic NO!
So, we resolved to start laying the foundation for a resistance movement solely focused on the protection and defense of the constitution of Zimbabwe - hence; CONSTITUTION DEFENDERS' FORUM.
We are growing a FIG TREE. Those who want SHADE will find it. Those who want ROOTS will find them. Those looking for BARKS will find them. Those looking for FRUITS will harvest them. But, it is also a tree that is growing in a desert. The terrain is harsh. We are going to need some watering, some manure, some fences and tending.
This is where everyone of us has to play a part. You may think you are too small to make an impact but your presence and input increases the resonance, the more we push together the more our amplitude rises and at some point the force become unbearable.
The people on the ground in Zimbabwe will be embarking on different forays to organize and galvanize the people. This comes at great risk to them but they are determined.
Our responsibility especially in the Diaspora is to make sure that we provide solidarity, reclaim the narrative and provide a voice that is bigger than that of the system.
We will be opening channels of engagement, feedback and participation for all as we go forward.
If there is something you feel you are good at, just say the word and we will plug you. We need to move forward together.
If what we are building is not a good fit for you but you still feel this Constitution needs to be defended, we urge you to not waste time and effort in disappointment, instead ORGANIZE and push from your end.
ONE STRUGGLE, MULTIPLE FRONTS!!!!!
Great initiative by #GreatmanMusic. RETWEET and help him reach as many people as possible!
You know what, my people? A retweet costs you nothing. And when you see somebody who is disabled, like Great Man, pushing this initiative, it should shame us who are able-bodied that we are not able to assist those who are disabled.
The least we can do is to RETWEET so that those who have the heart to help can actually support this cause.
So I ask you again, please RETWEET this initiative that Great Man, who is disabled, has started to assist people like him who are disabled.
It costs you nothing at all as a Zimbabwean or an African to simply RETWEET, or as any other nationality.
