Freelance journalist and award-winning filmmaker Hopewell Chin’ono says he has no regrets for exposing corruption even though it led to his arrest and detention for over a month at a maximum-security prison.
In a post on his Facebook page on Thursday, Chin’ono also expressed gratitude to Zimbabweans and the world at large for the support he received while he was in prison on charges of inciting public violence. He wrote:
8 weeks ago the regime came after me, broke into my home and threw me into prison for exposing corruption and the looting of COVID-19 funds.
Thankfully the world stood with me as the truth was self-evident!
I would like to thank all Zimbabweans, South Africans, Africans and global citizens that stood with me and kept my persecution in the world mental and public consciousness.
We have to keep on moving against corruption and the abuse of the constitution by the political crooks!
Thank you all for your support and solidarity!
As with everything that involves the theft of public funds, there are some useless citizens who are bought to divert our attention from the REAL issues!
