It was to UMA agent's utter shock that a member of the Zanu Pf youth league chanted " Pamberi nerufu rwaTsvangirai" ( Forward with Tsvangirai's death) to a clapping and ululating crowd. What are we promoting as a nation!
Chapter 4 Section 61 of the Zimbabwe Constitution enshrines the right to Freedom of Expression and Media but does not extend to accommodate hate speech. The 'youth's' slogan may translate to inciting people to assassinate the Former Prime Minister. Our communities need a lot of effort in capacity building so that people get to know their rights and freedoms and their limitations.
