The deep desire to show that mass resistance and challenging ZANU (PF) at the ballot box was possible pushed fear aside. Life had become so unbearable that those who truly cared had to risk everything for a better Zimbabwe. I chose to put myself on the line and became one of the fighters for democracy. For the record, neither I nor my family have ever been part of ZANU (PF).

Additional quotes by Paurina Mpariwa

It's inaccurate to say that I "joined" politics; rather, I transitioned my labor union activism into political action when we formed the MDC in 1999. I am proud to be one of its founders. ZANU (PF) was anti-people, and its arrogance and refusal to address issues affecting workers and the broader nation motivated me to act.

After 23 years as a legislator, I feel it’s time to share what I’ve learned in politics with other women. Through this initiative, my focus won’t be limited to women within my party but will extend to those outside the MDC-T as well. I've decided to remain available to civil society groups working to mentor other parliamentarians, and I am open about this commitment.
