With or without the non-negotiable basic right to diaspora vote, Social Democrats in Namibia shall register to vote in Zimbabwe.
25 June 2021
Mdc Alliance Namibia remains convinced that diaspora vote is a non-negotiable right conforming to the Supreme Law of the Republic of Zimbabwe as stipulated on Section 155 which equivocally states that all citizens should vote regardless of their geographical location. This has meant that the diaspora vote is absolutely provided by the 2013 constitution of the motherland. Chinamasa’s lunatic utterances declaration that there will be ,”No diaspora vote until sanctions are removed”, this Zanupf’s clear attempt to muzzle democratic space in the country. This ruining party called Zanupf must know that the First and Second Chimurengas were fought to achieve One-man–one-vote hence diaspora vote becomes given in ConstitutionalDemocracy.
It is public knowledge that the targeted sanctions against Zanupf satanists accused of high levels of human butchery, corruption and daylight looting were not invited by the diaspora residents. Our plea as social democrats in the diaspora is that Zanupf must reform itself from its tendencies of arbitrary arrests and detention of human rights for the targeted sanctions to be removed. Those who reside in the diaspora are victims of politically-motivated violence , corruption, looting , state-sponsored deaths and escalating unemployment so linking them with sanctions is a sign serious political ineptitude on the side of the empty-headed acting political commissar.
Moreover, our message to the regime represented by Mr Chinamasa is that whether the diaspora has been granted or not , social democrats in the diaspora especially in Namibia and the whole of Africa are prepared to register in Zimbabwe, go and vote in 2023 and peacefully defend the vote the inherent rigging of the people will by Zanupf and surrogates. Right now our external branches ,districts and provinces are busy mobilising , recruiting and radicalising to win Zimbabwe for complete change in 2023. We are going to fight for our fundamental basic right to vote in our host countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and America so that we achieve socio-economic liberation in the motherland. We know the culture of dictatorship and monocracy but this time around, Zanupf and their surrogates are going to be vanguished by social transformers led President Advocate Nelson Chamisa Wamba Dia Wamba.
Furthermore, Patrick Chinamasa told reporters at a news conference in Harare that the party would not be able to effectively compete due to travel restrictions imposed by some western countries on certain Zanupf officials cited for human rights violation. He further elucidated,”I can’t go to the United Kingdom and campaign because of sanctions , we all know that. My colleagues here are all under sanctions”, he told journalists at the shake shake building. The clueless Zanupf official added that, now, as long as that situation persists and continues , we will say “no vote” to the people in the diaspora, because then we will be allowing only those who have access to that electorate if they are voting. This is a clear reflection of oppression, repression and suppression of citizens in a banana republic or pariah state.
Mdc Alliance Namibia is quite conscious on Zanupf’s nightmare when it comes to diaspora vote. The Harare knows that the diaspora residents are victims of gross abuse of human rights and corruption which saw them fleeing the country to seek political , social and economic refugee in which respect and honour the dignity of human beings. Zanupf is very sure that in the diaspora they are are assured of any meaningful number of votes. We urge all social democrats across the globe to take this opportunity to Go and Register to Vote, Go and Vote in 2023 so that we can transform our livelihoods. The desperate Zanupf regime should know that 21 years of confronting autocracy is a mountainous task and pro-poor fighters are ready to take a flight from the USA to go and vote in Zimbabwe. Chinamasa and cronies must relax because Constitutionalists are ready to fight for the diaspora vote whilst registered to vote in Zimbabwe.
Moreso, even as desperate Zanupf is refusing Zimbabwe’s diaspora a vote, Chinamasa said Zimbweans in the diaspora who have “built enormous skills in various sectors” must “look back home and make their contribution to the economic development of this country” which is beyond nonsense according to Rundu Branch Spokesperson. This attempt to continue exploiting citizens for benefit of a few elite in Zanupf must be resisted with equal measure. The diaspora residents’ to the nation must be applauded by granting them the basic universal human right to choose the leadership that will motivate to come back to the motherland. The ugly political ,economic and social situation in Zimbabwe is favourable to any willing returnee. There is no freedom of expression and association, there is no guarantee to security of persons and their properties. This scares away potential investors in the motherland.
To wind it up, politically bankrupt Zanupf should not try to use sanctions as tradable political step to lobby for removal of targeted before it grants Zimbabweans living in the diaspora to exercise their constitutional right to vote. Geographical factors are not barriers since we are busy coordinating all social democrats to actively participate in the national discourse through their commitment to vote in 2023. We shall fight for diaspora vote as registered voters in Zimbabwe so that we don’t miss our golden opportunity to vote our corruption, graft,nepotism,tribalism, muzzling of democracy and illegal convictions of our leadership.
Right now Cde Makomborero Haruzivishe languishing in the hell hole of Chikurubi Maximum Prison for mere whistling in town. Our leaders Mukoma Last Maengahama and Tungamirai Madzokere were incarcerated for 10 donkey years for a crime they didn’t commit. We mobilise towards #CitizensConvergenceForChange so that we constitutionally and democratically remove belly politicians of plunder and self-enrichment.
