Zimbabwean activist Talent Rusere has called for national unity and constructive politics following his release after nine months in prison.
Rusere was arrested at Plumtree Border Post after being deported from Botswana and jailed over videos claiming that Zimbabweans voted in Mozambique’s disputed October 9 elections.
In a statement, Rusere said he spoke not as a victim of political persecution, but as a committed patriot and advocate for social justice.
He urged Zimbabweans to put aside past conflicts and work together for national development, stressing that politics should serve the people, not individual interests or external influences.
“Our differences must bring us together,” Rusere said, calling on citizens and political leaders alike to prioritise unity, reconciliation, and the well-being of all Zimbabweans.
He asserted that the country’s progress depends on collective action, economic empowerment, and the responsible exercise of political freedoms gained through the liberation struggle.
Rusere also encouraged the youth to rise above partisan politics, urging them to focus on building the nation for future generations.
He called on media houses to avoid spreading rhetoric that fuels division and to promote constructive dialogue instead.
Rusere said all Zimbabweans should participate in shaping the country’s future, from economic development to social progress.
