BELOW IS THE PART TRANSCRIPT OF MDC ALLIANCE LEADER NELSON CHAMISA’S FULL SPEECH IN HARARE 5th JUNE 2018
Do not be afraid that they will cheat the upcoming elections… it will not work.
We have our reforms we want. 30 July is not just an election day. 30 July is a survival day…a day to resolve problems in the hospital… 30 July is the day we correct our education… a day to remember our war veterans….a day for the women of Zimbabwe.
How many are going with me to vote on 30 July?
So what are our issues? Where is my document? Our issues what are they? Boys and girls .. How I wish Mdara Tsvangirai was here, this was his style. My Mdara used to sing this way: Munoziva, ndotya kurasika…. Ndoda Mwari muya muri wangu. Ndakatengwa neropa raishe. Ndava wenyu Chose!
The story that brought us here is that we have won the election already …. and in the rural areas it’s now even worse for ZANU PF.
Now that we have won, we know there is a baboon. This baboon needs to be caught beforehand.
The issues we want to fix have to nothing to do with parliament. ZANU PF tried to change laws. The Electoral Act they put in place, is disputed.
The ballot paper we demand that we know who has printed it, and what are it’s security features…. and so so forth.
Look now can you see how a thief operates? We heard Mnangagwa saying security will not allow ballot papers to be inspected. If that is the case we will ensure all processes are stopped.
He sent me a message saying where are your guts.. and I said my guts are on God Almighty.
This time we are not going to have a repeat of 2013. We are prepared of doing whatever is necessary and the good thing is we have the support of the people of Zimbabwe.
We shall go to SADC and to AU … We shall only have a free and fair election.
We shall inspect the voters roll to see the entries in there.
After the election I will congratulate who has won. But obviously that will be me… so Mnangagwa will have to come to congratulate me. We will teach these people how to run hospitals, banks and so forth. There is this issue of radio and TV: ZBC is disgraceful, we respect the media but their lies destroy the nation. Why don’t you just report things as they are ?
I told you about coverage in terms of the law; they should do the same everywhere. If you do LIVE coverage of Mnangagwa you must also do Chamisa. I called Mnangagwa to a LIVE debate … he froze up.
The third issue is the matter of soldiers. We say they are professional, they belong to the country but we are saying please cause the soldiers not to meddle in the rural areas intimidating our people.
A person defeated at the polls is not dead.
The rigging they are trying is the rigging of your jobs and so forth.
When they deploy polling stations…. (sic).
So we are using technology to monitor elections. We want the whole country to know where the servers are.
The other issues …We know observers are already here…
Today at 4 O clock the Commonwealth ambassador is meeting me. Yes I am not blocking the re admission of Zimbabwe into Commonwealth. In any case when I become president I am the one who will be dealing with the Commonwealth.
The issue of the diaspora vote the government knows this must be respected. Let us respect the issue of diaspora vote because it is not constituency based in the constitution. They are not respecting diasporans yet they are the same people funding the economy. Mr Mnangagwa be a revolutionary, a patriot. Mr Mnangagwa love your country… have a free and fair election. The demands are here on paper. Mnangagwa must know this thing that the nation is the people’s. I saw ZANU PF people here supporting us because this is a national thing.
The other issues… The elections on 30 July will be only on these conditions. If they are not met, we will let you know what we will do soon.
I thank you all for coming here in your crowds. No one came here because they were paid.
Claps hands for me for the people of Zimbabwe!
