PLEASE RETWEET THIS WHEN YOU FINISH READING! This is Jameson Timba in prison uniform, a very senior opposition leader in Zimbabwe. You must know him today if you didn’t already. He is in jail after being arrested last week with his son and 70 other young people who had met at his home to commemorate the 1976 South African Youth Day. Timba loves mentoring young people!!! Jameson Timba has lost a lot from supporting the struggle against tyranny in Zimbabwe. That is why every sane Zimbabwean should stand up for him and the 70 others who are in jail with him! This is a man I met around 2006 when he owned a thriving IT business in Harare and Bulawayo. He chose to support the struggle against corrupt rule and tyranny and lost all the contracts he had. He was part of Morgan Tsvangirai’s political backbone. I remember meeting him at O.R. Tambo Airport in September 2008 when I was flying back home with Morgan Tsvangirai. Timba had just landed from Harare. He was fleeing from the 2008 post-election violence, while Tsvangirai was returning home after being in hiding in Botswana for months. We were driven to the airport by Strive Masiyiwa’s security and team of drivers. My then boss, Tim Singleton, who now heads the Sky News foreign desk, flew me to Johannesburg to be on Morgan Tsvangirai’s flight back home. I was the ITV News producer covering Zimbabwe and I had a very good relationship with Tsvangirai who agreed that I would get exclusive access to film for our News at Ten programme on ITV News in the UK. As we went through VIP security at O.R. Tambo, Tsvangirai was told that one of his lieutenants had landed and wanted to see him before he flew out to Harare. It was Timba! “Do you have money,” Tsvangirai asked Timba. With tears overwhelming him, Timba simply said, “I will be fine, but our people have been brutalised and are in submission.” This man is a warrior for democracy who never makes noise about what he has done for the struggle or what he has lost because of it. It makes me cry when men like him are persecuted, lose everything, and we fail to even talk about their persecution and suffering! Timba shouldn’t be in jail for meeting with young people at his private residence. The captured and shameless courts in Harare must release this man and the 70 others! They were beaten up. Some can’t even walk, and yet ZANU-PF wants to join the @commonwealthsec while doing this! Remember Timba in your prayers. Remember the 70 young people who were arrested with him. This shouldn’t happen in a democratic country;m, well, Zimbabwe is a dictatorship! It's gut-wrenching to think of the injustices Timba and the 70 are facing, and the brazen abuse of power by the authorities. It is sad that the recognised CCC faction is quiet while Timba and the 70 others are being persecuted! We cannot let their stories be forgotten or overlooked. RETWEET
