THE eight Citizens Coalition for Change activists are expected this week.
The group participated in the staging of a flash demonstration against President Emmerson Mnangagwa ahead of the SADC heads of state summit last Friday.
In a viral video circulated Thursday a group of rights activists from the usually quiet rural community of Gokwe, the group’s leader who identified himself as Givemore Chuma urged SADC leaders to do the ‘’respectable”.
“SADC must not be used to sanitise President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s illegitimacy. This is what we are saying as the inhabitants of Gokwe.We are holding these demonstrations to send out a clear message.
“It has been common knowledge through the years that people from Gokwe are backward, but today we have taken the first step in sending the message that we are not supporting the conferment of the SADC chairmanship to Mnangagwa.
“He must leave the office. No one voted for him to power.What lessons does SADC intend to confer to citizens across the region ?” he said in the video.
