Speaking to South African television station, eNCA,
I have said this before and I am saying this again now, that the statement is a sign that our own government is far removed from the reality of everyday citizens in Zimbabwe. Nothing hurts me more than hearing a statement like that because nobody loves Zimbabwe more than a Zimbabwean and it has been proved over a couple of weeks by the millions across the world and in our own country, who have stood up to say we need a better Zimbabwe. I don’t need anyone from outside Zimbabwe to come and give me money or tell me in my ear that I am failing to raise funds to put my kids through school or that I can’t get access to health or that I am hungry. I know that it is a reality that I am living with.
Mawarire reiterated that the #ThisFlag campaign was not a regime change agenda, but a call to the political leadership of the country to address the challenges the country was facing,
What we are advocating for, more than anything else, is a government that respects the dignity of its citizens.
