Recently‚ their idiot regulator‚ POTRAZ banned Whatsapp to prevent online revolution.“Let us combine together and help free the people of Zimbabwe. Too long the world has ignored their plight‚ too long the world has turned a blind eye to what Mugabe is doing. Stop being dicks. Get involved. Help the people of Zimbabwe. Evil can only happen when good people do nothing.“To show our support for the heroic protests happening on the ground‚ we have shut down the ZANU-PF website and we have shut down POTRAZ website. If you are anon‚ join in‚ find a target owned or controlled by ZANU-PF and shut it down.“If you are not an anon‚ for gods sake‚ help the people of Zimbabwe already!”..
