Statement by Roy Bennett
Fellow Zimbabweans (and friends).
We stand at the cusp of a new era in Zimbabwean history. One of freedom, prosperity and hope.
The Zanu-Pf regime is crumbling as the old man grows weary and the dogs fight over the bones.
Yet as the regime crumbles, so does our country. Our cash has run out, our food has run out. Our families are hungry and our jobs are disappearing.
The time has come for a new wave, a new breed of activists, of leaders. We can be these leaders. We do not need titles or fancy cars. We just need the courage to stand up, and oppose the oppression we face.
Our courage will inspire others; with their actions we all will be free. Ask yourself, was I born for just to be silent, or can be a leader in this time of need.
In the bank queues, at the taxi ranks, in the sport stadium, in the church, our voice must be heard. Whereever people gather, we should denounce these few who try to hold us all captive, these dealers in fear.
The time for skulking in the corners and hiding from the crooks is over. We are not the criminals, the criminals are Mugabe and his Zanu-Pf. Let them run like thieves, it is time for us to speak out, and our voices must clear and strong.
When we have won our freedom, those who stood at this crucial time will be able to say, I was there, I have the courage to stand up against the crooks, I was one of the ones who started it all, I was one of the ones who saved Zimbabwe.
We cannot fear the police officer and the prison cell. They too feel shame at their actions, at their orders. Let them try and lock us all up. They cannot.
We are entrapped by fear, it is only fear that tells us “I must not speak out, they may focus in on me.” Every one is suffering, everyone can see our great country dying. Everyone is thinking that the time has come.
It only takes those courageous few, to stand up in the bank queue and demand a country where there is money in the banks. To stand up in the sports stadium, and demand a weekend when the children are not hungry. To stand up in church and say God helps those who help themselves, we must help our country.
If we do not stand up, there will be nothing left of this country for our family, our children. How can we fear for the future stop us, our future is already being destroyed.
People of Zimbabwe, your country needs your action. Break free from fear and feel your strength. Lead your brothers and sisters to glory, to freedom, to prosperity.
