Anonymous Africa, the group responsible for the shutdown of the South African Broadcasting Corporation’s (SABC) website in June this year, on Wednesday inflicted the same act on Zimbabwe’s ruling party, the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF).
“In support of #ShutDownZimbabwe we have shut down the ZANU-PF website. zanupf.org.zw is #TangoDown Bring on the spring,” tweeted the group.
This, said the group, was in support of the ongoing unrest in the country which began on Friday, reportedly due to the ban and shortage of food resources. Police brutality since the unrest began has been recorded on social media.
On Wednesday, a civil servant stay-away was conducted in the troubled nation while instant messaging service Whatsapp was blocked for some time.
Despite this, #ZimShutDown2016 was trending all day on social media despite the attempts at a media blackout.
Twitter users have also requested that Anonymous target the government mouthpiece, The Herald.
