TIRED
OF NICODEMUSLY CRITICIZING THE CLUELESS NONAGENARIAN ROBERT MUGABE? TIRED OF
BEING A KEYBOARD ACTIVIST? WELL, HERE IS A CHANCE FOR YOU TO DO IT WITHOUT FEAR.
WE ARE INVITING all
progressive and peace loving Zimbabweans to join us in this occupation to send
a message to the GoZ and demand urgent redress on 16 particular issues coming
from the above concerns.
It is time we have a one on
one with government as Citizens of Zimbabwe. That time when expression must be
supported by action. We are sick and tired of being tired thus we donate our
bodies to demand responsible governance.
We love our country but We
are ashamed of our Government and its misplaced priorities that have reduced us
to a Nation of Educated Vendors and Prostitutes.

Diversity for the Love of Zim, Yes We Can!!
