Tinashe Sambiri|The MDC Alliance has accused Zanu PF of trampling on the fundamental principles of national unity.

In a statement the vibrant movement also accused Zanu PF of using the unity accord to create a One -party State.

See statement below:

22 DECEMBER 2020

THE UNITY ACCORD WAS A FUTILE ATTEMPT TO CREATE A ONE-PARTY STATE (MONOCRACY), MDC ALLIANCE NAMIBIA POSTULATES.

Social democrats in Namibia agree with fellow opposition party ZAPU which was rejuvenated in 2009 after realising the hypocritical nature of Zanupf’s quest for peace and tranquillity in Zimbabwe after independence in 1980. Mdc Alliance Namibia is cognisant of the pretence and deception subjected to PF ZAPU then leader Cde Joshua Nkomo by the late Cde Robert Mugabe who deceived his opponent on the 22 December 1987.

It is clear that the Unity Accord was an unsuccessful attempt to get over the lunatic, dark and ugly chapter in the history of our motherland where more than 20 000 innocent citizens were ruthlessly butchered in cold blood for supporting a visionary leader different from Zanupf’s. The Unity Accord was the genesis of autocracy and totalitarianism in Zimbabwe since it generated state capture of the army, the police and the rest of securocrats.

This day is not worth celebrating because it epitomises DISUNITY than UNITY in the country. To date, the victims of Gukurahundi were never compensated or given any attention according to the fake agreement. The murderers and terrorists were not made accountable up to now. Sarcastically, the late Robert Mugabe called it ‘a moment of madness’ that deserves to be forgotten.

Moreover, the opposition ZAPU says it regrets signing the Unity Accord in 1987 with then ZANU after the ruling party has allegedly refused to abandon its hegemonic and violent tendencies in violation of the legendary agreement. This is incontrovertible evidence to prove that the Unity Accord laid the foundation of a One-party State. Now that ZAPU’s leader is deceased, Zanupf is now concentrating on the political behemoth (Mdc Alliance) through its surrogates in the names of Khupe,Mwonzora and cronies to decimate the people’s project. The effort to establish a One-party was resisted by ZAPU and the vibrant Mdc Alliance when they tried to use captured courts to usurp power from President Advocate Nelson Chamisa. “This will never come to fruition as long as social democrats in the country still exist under the sun. We are going to use all our organs to defend Constitutional Democracy in the motherland”, echoed Mdc Alliance Namibia Rundu Branch Spokesperson, Robson Ruhanya.

Moreso, celebrating Unity Day is tantamount to celebrating Flag Independence without deliverables. No Unity, No Tranquillity, No Harmony and No basic universal freedoms but they continue to force people to celebrate their festival of absurdities. The revival of ZAPU was a clear testimony of fake unity between the two parties. Trampling on human rights does not reflect any unity but politics hate and rhetoric. 22 December must be used to advocate for the compensation of the victims of state-sponsored mass killings during Gukurahundi.

To wind it up, Mdc Alliance Namibia advocates for a serious investigation of those who butchered our Matebeleland and Midlands relatives, friends and comrades. Perpetrators of these atrocities must be brought to book then we can commemorate the day together. #NoToImpunity #WeDemandJusticeToGukurahundiVictims
