Ides of March Univ protests the last warning to Mugabe to accept regime change or worse to come!


The University Staff and student protests today 17 March 2015 over none payment of staff salaries and the country’s worsening economic situation should been seen as a warning to the nation and this Zanu PF regime in particular that the people’s patience has been tried to breaking point. We must have peace regime change now or the protest will escalate and will not stop until change is finally achieved because the economic situation that has forced millions into abject poverty and despair is unsustainable.

This is the route the nation has tried so hard and for so long to avoid but the total indifference of this corrupt and oppressive Zanu PF regime to the basic needs, suffering and hopelessness and despair of millions of our people have left them with no other route but one of direct confrontation.

One hopes that Mugabe will take this as the last shot across the bowel and now accept that it is the millions of ordinary Zimbabweans who have been demanding regime change all these years of rigged elections and brutal oppression and not the “evil West”! He must end his stubborn intransigence now before the rioting spread across the land.

Mugabe’s ZimAsset economic recovery plan is dead in the water because he failed to get any foreign donor to bankroll such an ill-conceived and wasteful plan. He now has nothing to offer to end the country’s economic meltdown which is root cause behind the University students and staff protests. With unemployment now a nauseating 90% plus the whole nation is feeling the ill effects of the economic meltdown.

Since Zanu PF has nothing left to end the economic meltdown it is logical that the nation should have a chance to elect some other regime who can. Allowing the suffering to continue is simply unsustainable.

We in the Zimbabwe Social Democrats call upon Mugabe to peacefully now step down now or he will be forced out of office Muammar Gaddafi style.
