Staff Reporter| Pastor Evan Mawarire has urged Zimbabweans to remain resolute in their unity, as he explained that there was no going back on the mass stay away from work.
“We called the stay away for Wednesday and Thursday, we are not retreating, this is our way of sending a message, to our government that enough is enough, our message to government is that when we make demands of them, we are not hating them, we actually want you (government) to know the reality on the ground.”
Mawarire who released another of his viral videos, thanked Zimbabweans all over the world and internally who stood by him as they held prayer vigils. The unity that transcended race, class and political divide, giving the country new hope and inspiration that together they could move mountains.
“When I came out of court I could not believe what I saw, thousands of people who were there,” said Mawarire, in a tone full of gratitude. Mawarire who has emphasized peace in all his messages said, “this is what it means to be united as Zimbabweans, you did so well, there was no violence, noone was fighting.”
“Thank you thank you, what an amazing day we have had you and I have seen the power of unity, I had no idea that people right across the world I heard there were people praying in the UK who joined hands, in South Africa, America, Australia, in Bulawayo there were people at the courts I was not even in Bulawayo.”
Pastor Evan Mawarire was freed by Harare Regional Magistrate Vakai Chikwekwe.
Mr Chikwekwe said the state violated Section 50 and Section 70 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe which provides that an arrested person must be informed of charges he is facing.
