The mass action called by the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) and dubbed “the Final Push” (June 2-6 2003) was met by fierce resistance by all arms of the state machinery. This report is both narrative of the events of the week beginning June 2, 2003 and an introspection on the preparedness or otherwise of the pro-democracy movement. It seeks to demonstrate why there is still hope for the democratic cause despite incessant state repression.
