21th November 2019

The Movement for Democratic Change Masvingo Province is shell-shocked
and unreservedly perturbed by barbaric attacks and assault of its
members at the Morgan Tsvangirai House in Harare on the 20TH of
November 2019, ahead of the HONA address by President Nelson Chamisa.

The Provincial leadership and its membership condemns to the strongest
of terms, the use of brutal force by the thuggish and partisan
Zimbabwe Republic Police to disperse the party’s legion of supporters
who had come to bear witness and listen to the historic HONA delivered
by the President, as the political and economic situation in the
country continue to nose dive.

The sheer, pure, absolute and complete use of brutal force on unarmed
civilians, legislators and journalists is a show that the so called
new dispensation is unrepentant and unwilling to reform, contrary to
its proclamations and reform promises to the world.

Scores of party supporters, Members of Parliament and ordinary
citizens doing about their business in the city were severely injured
in the wanton attacks.

The disruption of the tremendously anticipated HONA, reflects that the
regime doesn’t have respect of the rule of law and basic human rights
such as freedom of association and movement as enshrined in the
constitution.
However despite the whole hullabaloo following the barbaric attacks
and failed attempt to disrupt the President from delivering his
speech, We are grateful that the People’s leader successfully managed
to deliver his progressive and insightful HONA.

Without mincing his words the President expressed concern over the
continued economic woes bedeviling the country and wanton suffering of
the people of Zimbabwe due to misgovernance by the new dispensation.
The President also pointed out that the signal for Zimbabweans to
solve their problems has already been made by the failing regime.

MDC Masvingo will remain resolute and support the people’s legitimate
President Nelson Chamisa in his endeavor to find a solution to the
problems of Zimbabwe.
President Chamisa is the only answer to Zimbabwean Problems.
Aluta Continua, Struggle Continues.
