In this moment, I pray that my experiences spur us into action for those who society has tucked away in silence and mostly forgotten. They don\u2019t even have the most basic need \u2013 running water. This is before we look at soap, sanitizer, clean masks and proper facilities to enable social distancing. Their lives matter. I call on those with the authority to change things to look at the state of our prisons and respond accordingly.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>COVID-19 is affecting us all. Now is the time to show leadership, pragmatism and humanity. As for those who continue to use lawfare as a tool to silence opposition voices, thank you for bringing to the light what has been forgotten in the dark. We must demand accountability for every Zimbabwean life under the supposed care of the State.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>I ask that we not only pray for Zimbabwe but take responsibility for each other by wearing masks, social distancing, washing hands and avoiding gatherings. Most importantly let\u2019s be kind to one another at a period when so many are going through so much.
