The exit of Senator Lilian Timvious & Blessing Chebundo from the MDC Alliance party is welcome here in Mashonaland West, as ours is a party which respects the rights to freedoms.
As women, we are the torchbearers of our struggle and we guard it jealously as we have many women who were raped, beaten, tortured, houses burnt, husbands & children were killed. Many women were left disabled because of brutal violence from the ZanuPF regime. We are pained daily as women lose new born babies due to a health delivery system that has been razed down to ashes by the regime. Our hearts break for our graduate children who cannot get jobs because there is no industry and even though they have the entrepreneurial edge, the business environment is hostile.
Therefore women in Mash West are focused on the continued fight for:
- A people’s government , reforms & legitimacy
- Better livelihoods
- An end to corruption
- People’s rights & the rule of law.
- A return to the Constitution & Constitutionalism
Under the able able leadership of President Nelson Chamisa, we will usher a new Zimbabwe with a transformed life.
As such we see the attacks on our party’s Secretary General as sour grapes of people who can’t bring down our president. We know that the authors of that statement are bitter people who are finding our Secretary General a stumbling block for them to abuse our President and the party. The attack on our President is an attack on the people. At the Gweru congress in 2019 we put a Secretary General who has the eye of an African hammerhead, who can see & can sniff traitors, and they know it. As such he is frustrating them because he sees their game and blocks it way ahead of them. Women know the enemy. Women know the enemy’s tricks – Divide, Divert & Destroy. We are ready. We stand firm in support of our party’s Secretary General, Hon Chalton Hwende.
The women of Mashonaland West remain focused & continue to organise, energize, inspire the grassroots & grow the party. With President Nelson Chamisa, together we will win Zimbabwe for change. Until Victory: ZANU PF MUST GO.
