Voices of Change: Stories from M31 Members

Real People. Real Pain. Real Resistance.

The M31 Movement is not built by leaders in suits or funded by foreign donors.
It is built by the people. For the people. With blood, courage, and truth.

From Harare to Johannesburg, from Bulawayo to the UK, Zimbabweans are rising — not with fear, but with fire in their hearts. These are the voices of our struggle. These are the stories ZANU-PF wants silenced.

Tariro, 24 – Masvingo (Now in Hiding)

“I watched them drag my brother out of our home. He never came back. His crime? Wearing an opposition T-shirt. That day I knew: silence is death. I joined M31 the next morning.”

—

Blessing, 38 – South Africa (Asylum Seeker)

“I crossed the Limpopo barefoot with my two children after CIO agents raided our home. Today, I help mobilize the diaspora. We may be far, but our anger travels faster than their bullets.”

—

Tatenda, 19 – University Student, Mutare

“They shut down our protest. Arrested 16 of us. Beat us for hours. But we recorded everything. Now, I’m part of a digital resistance cell. ZANU-PF can’t stop what’s coming.”

—

Simbarashe, 51 – Former Soldier, Midlands

“I served in the army. I know how the regime works. I saw innocent civilians killed in 2018. That’s why I train young people now — not to destroy, but to defend.”

—

Chipo, 32 – Teacher, Gweru

“Our salaries can’t buy bread. We teach lies written by thieves. Now, I teach resistance in my classroom — quietly, wisely, dangerously. These kids will grow up fearless.”

—

Munyaradzi, 44 – Exiled Activist, UK

“I once believed we could vote them out. Not anymore. Change must be taken. I donate to M31 and help run secure platforms to protect our brothers and sisters back home.”

—

Rufaro, 27 – Vendor, Harare CBD

“When they came to destroy our stalls, I refused to run. I gathered 20 vendors, and now we meet weekly under the M31 banner. We don’t need politicians. We need each other.”
