Clergyman, Patrick Mugadza, famed for his spirited solo protests against President Robert Mugabe and his Zanu PF regime, has launched a fresh campaign denouncing violence and police brutality.

Mugadza started off his peace campaign in Bulawayo yesterday and today he is expecting to cover Gweru and Kwekwe and make a stopover in Kadoma on Wednesday before he gets to Harare.
“I will be talking about peace on this campaign. For the protesters, they should protest in peace while the police, who in many cases start violence, and the government should know how to maintain peace,” Mugadza said.
“Zimbabwe is known for excelling in on peacekeeping missions, but it seems we are not peacemakers. We don’t have the capacity to make our own peace.
“The campaign is two-fold as I will also be praying for love,” he said.
Mugadza rose to prominence last December after staging a solo demonstration at the Zanu PF conference in Victoria Falls.
Last month, he was in Harare pursuing his #MugabeMustFall campaign, which comprised of 40 days of prayer and street protests.

“That campaign was really successful and we are seeing people rising up and the results will be that Mugabe will succumb to pressure,” he said.
The cleric said his latest campaign would include advocating for a national transitional authority to take over from the Zanu PF government.
