It is sadist, inhuman, anti-people, cruel and degrading! Mdc Alliance Namibia absolutely condemns illegal demolitions in the Harare Metropolitan Province!
22 June 2021
Mdc Alliance Namibia totally condemns Operation Murambatsvina 2, a satanic and violent campaign meant to decimate the livelihoods of poor Zimbabwean people who are struggling to feed their families due to economic meltdown.
As a district , we stand in solidarity with the victims of Zanupf’s inability to create employment for the citizenry. The violence perpetrated on the diligent citizens by clueless Zanupf regime and power-hungry cronies in Harare , Zimbabwe must be peacefully resisted.
Social democrats in Namibia are infuriated and deeply concerned by the dismal failure to adhere to due process and the unprecedented insensitivity to the plight of the downtrodden and toiling unemployed urban masses. It is an inhuman campaign that is being engineered by the overzealous and empty-headed, Provincial Development coordinator, Mr Tafadzwa Muguti , and the unconstitutional Provincial Ministry structure led by the ovérambitious, Mr Oliver Chidhawu.
It is sad that the marketing stalls and houses are being demolished at such a critical time when Covid-19 pandemic is ravaging our communities with strict lockdowns that are compounded by these evil demolitions on the people’s sources of livelihoods.
Moreover, the devilish rampage to destroy our people’s income generating projects, vending structures, marketing stalls, tools of trade and other properties came at a juncture when the incompetent regime is not providing any safety nets to cushion the victims of Operation Murambatsvina 2. Mdc Alliance Namibia urges the government to re-establish the broken social contract between the governed and their governors. It is beyond nonsense to call yourself a government of the people that destroys people’s lives instead of developing it.
The scenario is quite sarcastic since the purported developers are the ones destroying. This must be resisted with equal measure because Zimbabwe is for us all and Zanupf should know that the country is not their private company or property. We are all Zimbabweans and the land is also ours. We should unite and demand the stolen national cake.
Furthermore, against the pathetic background of a sunken economy and escalating unemployment that has reached more than 95%, the majority of Zimbabweans have been compelled to survive on buying and selling of goods and wares in the informal sector. Our economy is now an informal one as a result vendors must be respected by the government. The focus of this inorganic regime should be on the provision of alternative spaces and infrastructure to support small medium enterprises in the motherland’s bleeding informal sector. As social transformers who subscribe to socio-economic liberation policies, we unreservedly dissociate our councillors from these illegal and sadist activities.
Moreso, Mdc Alliance councillors of the city of Harare recently issued a statement condemning this crime against humanity. In line with our #People’sAgenda ,we confidently call for urgent provision of Covid-19 safety nets from the confused state for the suffering informal sector. The Zanupf government must provide alternative convinient and viable work spaces and general policy implementation that supports the poor, not fighting against the poor of the land.
In a nutshell, Mdc Alliance Namibia is convinced that Zanupf is not a people’s government, it relies on captured courts and Zec to stay in power. That is the reason why they want to keep Mr Luke Malaba so that he can defend their planned rigging in 2023. We shall continue to urge our people to go and register to vote, go in 2023 to vote and peacefully defend the vote. Zimbweans must converge and demand their fair share of the national cake. It is now imperative to peacefully and democratically express our disgruntlement in this satanic regime.
