excerpt

Zimbabwe government’s mouthpiece, The Herald, has made subtle reports indicating impending arrest of Pastor Evan Mawarire of #ThisFlag campaign and Promise Mkwananzi of #Tajamuka, a youthful movement calling urgent action to address economic ills.

Mkwananzi told CNBC Africa that he will hand himself over to the police accompanied  by his lawyer.

The state-controlled daily newspaper published an editorial, usually the official voice of the ruling ZANU PF, implicating Mawarire and Mkwananzi of causing social unrest in the country. The two have since denied these allegations.

“Some of the people who might find themselves in trouble include Pastor Evan Mawarire of #ThisFlag campaign, Promise Mkwananzi of the shadowy Tajamuka/Sesjikile outfit and Sten Zvorwadza of the National Vendors’ Union of Zimbabwe, who have been on a crusade to foment an uprising against the government,” read a warning published in The Herald.
