“We, the citizens have run out of patience and we just can not afford another day with Emmerson Mnangagwa as the President. 31 July must be the last straw for Mnangagwa!” reads the statement.
MDC A youths castigated Mnangangwa’ stance towards corruption and accused the second republic of embezzlement amongst a litany of charges.
“It is under Mnangagwa that a new phenomenon called ‘catch and release’ mushroomed to habour corrupt cabinet criminals like his clansman Obadiah Moyo.
“In his short spell as the President albeit through stealing elections, Mnangagwa has presided over untold suffering, repression and oppression that has never been witnessed before in this land.”
The 31 July protests will fall a day before the anniversary of the August killings.
“It is by no coincidence that the people are going to take to the streets a day before the anniversary of 1 August military killings. The blood of those martyrs is crying for justice and the biggest form of justice those innocent civilians can ever have is removal of the man who deployed the military on the day in question” the statement said.
The firebrand MDC Alliance youths spokesperson also accused the government which they described as a “fake new dispensation” of abuducting and torturing it’s dissenting voices.
“It is only under Mnangagwa’s watch that we have witnessed a sharp increase abductions of civil society leaders, trade unionists and political activists. From Tatenda Mombeyarara to Cecilia Chimbiri, Netsai Marova and Joanna Mamombe, the growing list of abductees is inexhaustible!
“In his fake New Dispensation, Mnangagwa did set a new for every wrong reason”
