# Zimbabwe 7-“NON VIOLENT ACTION IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT’” -CANVAS

www.newzimbabwevision.com, says the people of Zimbabwe must have an awakening into how to to hold their government to accountability over issues regarding, good governance, peace, democracy, accountability, equality, human rights, employment, education, housing, gender issues, girl child matters, water, electricity, roads, transport and a host of other issues that directly affect the lives and future of the ordinary people, thereby creating a more informed people about choices and issues that can change and shape their lives and future, such as voting. www.newzimbabwevision will always say that there is no better time to rise up against oppressive authority than now as we cannot afford to continue to be stripped of dignity. The most effective way of doing this is to ground everything, peacefully protest and make the Zimbabwe system ungovernable, because short of doing this, we the ppeople would simply be wasting both our time and that of the militarised Mnangagwa regime. They would simply chalk it off to a non event in their books.
Zimbabweans generally face sky rocketic prices, low incomes, a brutal, hostile macroeconomic environment and poor working conditions where they live daily under untold abuse, harassment, fear, threats, stress, anxiety, panic and despondency, regardless gender, tribe, religion, race, colour, age or political affiliation.
The militarised Mnangagwa Zanu pf regime, is unsettled by the growing real and pending threat of mass protests nationwide by the suffering people of Zimbabwe. Regards to the current crisis in Zimbabwe, is the following, about the Center for Applied Non-Violent Action and Strategies (CANVAS)
The Center for Applied Non-Violent Action and Strategies (CANVAS) has released a statement denouncing the recent arrests of participants that attended their workshop in Maldives recently.
George Makoni, Nyasha Frank Mpahlo, Tatenda Mombeyarara, Gamuchirai Mukura, Farirai Gumbonzvanda, Stabile Dewa, and Rita Nyampinga have been arrested on subversion charges after attending a training organised by CANVAS “to topple the incumbent government.”
