Leading Mugabe critic Pastor Evan Mawarire has told the BBC there is more to be done to give Zimbabwean citizens a voice - despite indications change is afoot.

 

Mr Mawarire spoke to Newsday after the court dismissed charges of trying to overthrow Robert Mugabe's former government, which were leveled against him after he organised last year's #ThisFlag protests.

 

He had faced 20 years in prison had he been convicted and many pointed to the decision as a sign things were changing in Zimbabwe following the resignation of Mr Mugabe.

 

But Mr Mawarire warned the new president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, was still part of the old ruling party.
