Makomborero was imprisoned for calling out the Zanu PF-led government for the looting, corruption, murder and arbitrary arrests of opposition members.

He has been thrown behind bars for 14 months for telling the truth known by every Zimbabwean.

Mako represents millions of youths in Zimbabwe who feel their democratic rights have been snatched away by the use of teargas, bullets, partisan judiciary and inhumane prisons. The youth hold the key to the freedom of the whole country and the tone set by Mako unsettled a regime out of touch with the masses.

Freedom is always a long walk, Makomborero is one of those who have set the first step.
