The government put Ethan Mathibela on a watch list yesterday. Security agents sent secret messages to border guards about him. He leads the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association. Intelligence officers want border guards to stop him from leaving the country.
Mathibela fights against President Mnangagwa staying in power after 2028. His group wants people to protest nationwide. They say Zimbabwe faces an economic crisis. They want leaders to answer for their actions. They demand freedom from money problems. They ask for less corruption, tribal favoritism, and friend-hiring in government jobs.
Security Minister Lovemore Matuke made threats last weekend. He promised harsh actions against anyone who protested against the president. The Central Intelligence Organisation works for his office and reports directly to President Mnangagwa himself. The secret message came straight from the highest levels of power.
The letter tells immigration officers at three different borders what to do. It says they must block Mathibela at Plumtree, Maitengwe, or Mphoengs crossings. The message orders them to call security agents immediately if they try to leave Zimbabwe. Strange young men crashed Mathibela's press event Monday at the Bulawayo Media Centre. Nobody knows who sent them there.
