Farai Dziva|A political analyst has urged Zimbabweans to be patient “during the last miles towards real transformation.”

” On 11 September 1999, at Rufaro Stadium in Harare, the MDC was formed marking 20 years of the struggle against dictatorship. It’s a remarkable milestone.

It has been a journey, a torturous journey filled with tears and hopelessness but the people remained true to the cause. We remain true to our democratic values despite clear provocation from opponents. Lives were lost at hands of Zanu PF heroes and heroines fell by wayside, but we are celebrating because we are moving forward.

We reflect on our successes and failures, including electoral victories in urban councils, presidential stolen victory, growth in total national votes and support base and court victories against break away factions. We achieved more together.

No hope is lost. The struggle continues unabated and victory is certain.

These are the last miles towards real transformation,” wrote Antony Taruvinga.
