In a threatening call, he was warned that "the flag around your neck can strangle you". But the married father of two, who says he wants to enable Zimbabweans to speak out, is not looking to topple the regime.</p><p>"Now that the movement has taken on a whole new life and moved from social media into people's home and into the streets, he's only more at risk now than then. Now the movement is a threat to the establishment," Coltart, a human rights and constitutional lawyer, analyses.</p><p>Supporters, meanwhile, described the Pastor's "stay away" days of action as somewhat safer alternatives. "You are not exposed: you are at home and it's very hard to identify who is who, whether you stayed at home because you are protesting against the government or because there were no taxis to get to work," Coltart explained.</p><p><span>At first, the government openly ridiculed the #ThisFlag social movement - higher education minister Jonathan Moyo on Twitter described it as a "stinking (...) pastor's fart"- but it has emerged some politicians desperately want to it block it.
