Missing activist, Itai Dzamara was today remembered in style as  scores of activists and members of civic society organizations gathered at Africa Unit Square commemorating 17 months after the pro-democracy activist,  was abducted by unknown assailants in Harare.

The colorful event was also attended by a number of children who offered members of the Republic Police flowers and cakes highlighting their love for the police.

Addressing activists, Patson Dzamara, brother of the missing activist said they gathered to show the police that love still exists.

“We are gathered here as we remember the life of Itai Dzamara. We all know who took him as members of the police used to beat him here every day.

“Now as we remember Itai here, we want to show the police that love is what moulds us, we will win this battle through love, so today we want to give them flowers to show love as we say no to police brutality,” said Dzamara.

Speaking at the same gathering, National Vendors Union Zimbabwe chairperson, Mr Sten Zvorwadza challenged the police to take off their uniforms and join the toiling masses in overthrowing the Mugabe led regime which he says is responsible.

“As we remember Itai today, I am saying to the police, join the people now to fight against Mugabe and let us remember the work of Itai Dzamara who went missing while advocating for everyone’s freedom,” said Zvorwadza.

Inspiring Quotations

"The determined efforts, and spirited focus by Zimbabweans from all paths and circles of life against authoritarianism as epitomised by #Tajamuka, #ThisFlag, churches, political parties, individuals etc just transmits a 'zing' of confidence, hope and dawn of a new dispensation from my skull nerves to my balls right to the tip of my foot. Authoritarianism and the despotic dispensation are under electrocution."
- Adolf, Kubatana subscriber in reply to our question asking what keeps people inspired during these tough times
" It was good and permissible when the flag since 1980 was carried by every Harry and Tom to Rufaro Stadium or National Sports Stadium to support Zimbabwe's national team the Warriors. It is good and permissible when the flag is carried about by women and children flocking to the airport to routinely receive the President from his many foreign travels. It is good and permissible if the flag is mutilated and redesigned on the party regalia of the country's self-acclaimed LIFE RULING SINGLE PARTY. It is now bad and not permissible when it is carried by those who demand that the sacrifices of those who lost their lives and years in the liberation struggle be respected by those in power through fighting corruption; practising good governance; public accountability by bringing to book those who are responsible for the missing $15 billion diamond revenues; fiscal austerity by cutting down on the many annual trips the President embarks on; by cutting on extravagance through avoiding the purchase of expensive Range Rovers when the govt is very broke to the point of asking for financial help from those it says are destabilising the economy and country."
