In a bid for a political settlement in Zimbabwe, a petition to the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Organ on Politics, Defense, and Security, was started on 31 August by Tony Reeler and Ibbo Mandaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The petition started after the just-ended Zimbabwean election once again failed the test of credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By last Friday the 1st of September 2023, approximately 5 807 people had signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trevor Ncube had taken to Twitter, to encourage citizens to sign the petition as Zimbabwe “can not go on the way it is now”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“l have just signed this petition. It is getting traction. Zimbabwe we can’t go on like this!”, said Ncube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We call for International Mediation Towards a Comprehensive Political Settlement in Zimbabwe!”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In response to what Ncube had said, Forward Revolution @JamaLink said :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We want guns even without training now, it’s the time”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freelance journalist, Hopewell Chin’ono added his voice as well on his Twitter handle, Hopewell Chin’ono@ Daddy hope Twitter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“President Mnangagwa and ZANU-PF will carry the burden of a shambolic election for the next 5 years after CCC decided not to file an application challenging their electoral loot and its disastrous outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“ZANU-PF was desperate for a court case to cleanse the crime scene which included a dead opposition supporter, FAZ intimidating voters by taking down their names and ID numbers, 12-hour delays to open polling stations, unconstitutional delimitation, banned rallies, and more”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He concluded by saying :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“That cleansing moment ain’t coming! President Mnangagwa and ZANU-PF will continue with the inauguration on Monday”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, two principal members of the SADC have endorsed President Mnangagwa’s victory in last week’s harmonized elections and have since pledged to continue working with the Second Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
