Evans Mawarire |
Themba Mliswa, once a loyal Zanu-PF executive and former MP, who now runs the increasingly popular youth movement YARD, said the stayaway and Mawarire deserved support and congratulations. But he questioned how this new opposition force could be sustained until the elections in 2018.
“Unfortunately the people who responded to the stayaway were largely urban and 72 percent of voters come from the rural areas, which are Zanu-PF strongholds, maintained through fear and violence.”
Mliswa said people in the rural areas were so poor they didn’t have smartphones: “They can’t afford data bundles, and they don’t know there was a stayaway run by Pastor Mawarire.”
