Re: Developments within the party
Greetings to all members of the MDC-T family. On the 17th and 18th of October, 2020 we held meetings of the National Executive Committee and the National Councils respectively. These meetings were well attended and the debates were robust, frank and productive. The two meetings made far reaching resolutions.
Among other things the meetings resolved that the Extraordinary Congress will be held in the week of the 13th to the 20th of December, 2020.
The Nomination process will commence around the 1st of November, 2020. It was agreed these processes will be open only to members of the MDCT.
Where people have joined, formed or are supporting other political parties, they can not take part in the process.
Further the meetings denounced and rejected the calls by G40 and the new MDC Alliance Party leaders for their members to come to our Congress.
Their agenda is to disturb our legitimate process of electing our substantive leader to replace President Morgan Tsvangirai.
We can never allow them to do this. As we go through our processes we appeal for peace, love and unity.
We should all desist from hate language against each other. We want to deliver the best Congress in the history of Zimbabwe ever.
We notice a lot of propaganda being peddled against our leaders by the enemies of democracy. They have sought to *scandalize* our rural penetration strategy but we will not relent.
Throughout the country our people are excited about our impending Congress. We have totally confounded the prophets of doom and our delegates are attending our meetings in numbers.
In a bid to derail our progress the so called MDC Alliance Party, being nose-led by G40 have mounted Court application after court application against us.
These applications are based on the same wrong interpretation of the law, the Supreme Court judgement and the constitution of our party. We would like to thank our lawyers for the great work that they are doing.
We know that you may be anxious about MRT House. Let your hearts not be troubled as we are in the process of totally repossessing it. After our congress we would like the Party to start a process of kick starting a serious reform process in Zimbabwe.
In this regard we will deal with social, political and economic reforms that must take Zimbabwe out of the current morass.
Among the electoral reforms we will deal with is the diaspora vote. This will see the enfranchisement of millions of Zimbabweans living in the diaspora.
We should resist temptations to retaliate against the toxic hate and propaganda being directed against us. We can never allow ourselves to be dragged into a race to the bottom.
We are on our way to achieve great things and together we will win.
Victory is Certain!
