Former SABC Broadcaster Chris Maroleng Urges Zimbabweans To “Rise Against Tyranny”

Former SABC broadcaster Chris Maroleng has urged Zimbabweans to “rise against tyranny” after being deported from the country where he intended to conduct field research on election conditions.

Maroleng, who is now the SADC Executive Director of Good Governance Africa, had flown to Zimbabwe to conduct field research on election conditions but was denied accreditation and subsequently deported. He took to social media to criticise the government’s actions, describing them as a reflection of bad governance and urging the people of Zimbabwe to demand the change they deserve.

Maroleng expressed his belief that the government employed bullying tactics to stifle dissent and silence opposing voices. He called on citizens to challenge oppressive systems and defend their democratic rights. He said:

Today, I am compelled to write with an anger that burns deep within my soul.

The recent events that unfolded in Zimbabwe, leading to my abrupt deportation, are not just a reflection of bad governance, but a stark indication of the lengths to which the government will go.

This is a call for the people of Zimbabwe to rise up against tyranny and demand the change they so desperately deserve.

Our purpose in Zimbabwe was noble and clear – to conduct vital field research on election conditions and challenges. We followed all the necessary protocols.

But what awaited us was a shocking and horrifying ordeal. It served as a brutal reminder of the bullying tactics employed by the Zanu PF-led government, as they seek to stifle dissent and silence any voices that dare to challenge their autocratic rule.

This is not an isolated incident; it is a clear indication of the extent to which the government will go to suppress the truth and maintain their grip on power.

We cannot afford to be silent in the face of such tyranny.

This incident is a wake-up call for all Zimbabweans to rise up against the oppressive forces that seek to undermine their democratic rights and aspirations.

We must channel our anger into action, demanding accountability.

In response, government spokesperson Nick Mangwana stated that foreign journalists who misrepresent their purpose of visit would be deported, emphasizing the need for transparency and accuracy in reporting. He said:

We note a lot of interest in visiting our country and stay between the 18th-25th of August 2023.

If you are an Election Observer, say so, we accredit such. If you are a journalist, say so, we accredit such.

If you make misrepresentations to the immigration officer, you may find yourself on the next plane home.

In July, David Hundeyin, an award-winning Nigerian journalist, was detained for over 10 hours at Harare Airport in Zimbabwe before being deported from the country. Hundeyin had arrived in Zimbabwe from Ghana, where he had sought asylum for political persecution in his country. He was denied entry due to improper documentation, despite using the travel document of a country with a visa-free relationship.

Nothing last for ever, ZANU pf must fall with its wickedness. 𝗧𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 who want a bright prosperous future vote for the young man CHAMISA. What can an octogenarian leader achieve in 5 years which he had failed to achieve in 43 years. Only corruption, looting, genocide and false promises. Get up , stand up for your rights and vote resoundingly for change.

What's he talking about what tyranny to be precise in this democratic nation of ours? everyone is allowed to vote and whether you vote for Economic Development or you vote for Ian Smith to assume office again in the form of Nelson Chamisa the choice is yours meaning everyone is allowed to exercise his democratic right on 23 Aug so what's he talking about this Maroleng?

Only if these clever very clever characters knew what kind of damage they have done to mdc formations by trying to take zim people for fools, no one even voters will want this kind of theatrics in their country, it is these acts and uncultured mouth from the opposition figures themselves that rig them out of power, avoid foreigners at all cost or deal with them at night only, population become intuitively defensive when foreign hand raises its urgly head, talk to your honest relatives when you go back home, they fire back "do you disrepect them where you stay?"

That was not ZRP. Those are Zanu Pf youths dressed in police uniform. They are more effective and brutal than the ZRP. You can hear that ZRP members want to vote in private in order to vote yellow. The regime has lost faith in them.

One thing we've failed as a Nation is to support Chamisa. Not anyone has/had the boldness to be the face of Change. whether you're Zanu/CCC what we want are better living conditions, better schools, better health facilities and all these are to the benefit of every Zimbabwean. We know Zimbabwe needs serious reconciliation socially & economically. Yes, Chamisa displays immaturity but what else do we have... another 5 years like this?
