Citizens in fresh push for democracy

A GROUP of citizens are mulling a campaign  for a democratic dispensation  where rule of law prevails and people’s fundamental rights and freedoms are protected.

The campaign comes as over 160 pro-democracy activists are currently in detention after being arrested ahead of the August 17 Sadc Heads of State and Government Summit held in Mt Hampden.

The campaign, dubbed Freedom Now will seek to bring together citizens from all walks of life, to collectively dismantle the current system which is benefiting a few at the expense of the majority, according to the organisers.
