Tinashe Sambiri|Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa cannot claim that Zimbabweans are enjoying the fruits of the liberation struggle at a time the nation is grappling with COVID-19, persecution of opposition members and rampant corruption, the MDC Alliance has said.
In a strong statement released on Friday morning, the MDC Alliance dismissed Mr Mnangagwa’s notion that Zimbabweans are living in peace and harmony.
Mr Mnangagwa made the remarks at the National Shrine on Thursday.
Below is MDC Alliance deputy spokesperson, Clifford Hlatywayo’s full statement:
Zimbabwe is at cross roads, while battling to defeat the invisible enemy called COVID-19, on the other hand is an irresponsible and carefree regime that never understood the importance of a vision.
There is an immediate answer to the National question which is anchored of the failure of Zanu PF regime.
The regime has systematically made our country a land of oppression and suppression. While other countries test their war asernal and Weapons of Mass Destruction in seas/oceans, the regime in Harare does so it on the people- What a shame!
Our people are living in constant fear, instability and an uncertain future.
They survive by what scholars call harvest of fear.
Attempt to undermine democratic elections is the order of the day. The ballot must determine who must lead the country. In Zimbabwe, the bullet supercides the ballot of the people. The illegitimate regime enjoys dividing the people. There is no nation to talk about, people are divided on political affiliation, status in society, region, religion, tribe, race, class, color, creed, profession, location, families, political party factions, level of poverty or richness, level of education and most recently looting cartels. These guys have failed this beautiful and potential country. They are greedy, tired, clueless and driven by hatred and bitterness. Being on leadership positions without leadership credentials.
Zimbabwe needs an overhaul of all systems be it governance, social, cultural, technological, political and economic systems.
President Chamisa has a rescue and recovery plan for this country. A plan that will return Zimbabwe to an economic, legitimate, openness and accountable democracy.
To be a nation driven by transformation of our society, with opportunities for everyone and reward hardworking citizens, it will be a land of prosperity.
MDC Alliance will operate on trust and confidence of the people. Social Contract between the governed and those who govern. With President Chamisa a month’s time in government is too long for every Zimbabwean to start enjoying their country where ever they are. MDC Alliance has the lasting solution to the Zimbabwean crisis.
Until then,
