NCA TURNS POLITICAL, WAY TO GO, THUMPS UP!!!!


WITH Zimbabwe’s new constitution set to be debated in Parliament next week, the National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) pressure group announced on Wednesday that it would soon transform into a political party. The NCA, a vocal advocacy group which has for more than a decade been demanding a new constitution, campaigned unsuccessfully in March to have Zimbabwe’s new charter rejected at a referendum. But six percent of those taking part in the referendum voted ‘No’, despite the country’s major political parties led by Zanu PF and the two MDC factions all urging their supporters to vote ‘yes’.

Now NCA chairman Lovemore Madhuku, speaking during Workers’ Day celebrations at the Raylton Sports Club in Harare on Wednesday, says they believe they have a very important constituency that needs representation. They are also not abandoning their demands for a “people-driven” constitution, dismissing the new supreme law set to be rushed through Parliament before President Robert Mugabe’s assent as an imperfect compromise document negotiated by politicians.

 People in NCA are saying they no longer want the organization to remain an NGO when it is carrying out the important task of demanding a democratic and people-driven constitution. They want the organisation to continue advocating for a democratic constitution while competing with other political parties. So I am here to announce that the NCA is forming a political party, which is not to say you must join the party. Madhuku said MDC-T leader and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, a former secretary general of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions, had failed workers since joining a coalition with President Robert Mugabe in 2009. He warned Tsvangirai that the NCA’s new party – whose name was not disclosed – had potential to wreck his political chances if he continued calling for elections to be delayed until October. The NCA was minded to enter the new party in those elections which could potentially split the anti-Zanu PF vote.

THE PEOPLE OF ZIMBABWE THANKS DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE (DA) & BOTSWANA!

The people of Zimbabwe thanks DA & Botswana for standing up for the Zimbabwean people, when even despair had seized to exist. What could we have done if we were left with the criminal and unsymphathetic ZUMA & AU. You were able to lead Africa in a Democratic direction when others were prepared to sacrifice, the rights and future of my people on the alters of pompeous self regard. The people of Zimbabwe see no friend in ANC as they are potentially evil. It pains my heart, that Mandela fought so hard for democracy, yet others in his party do not see its significance! It is in the interest of the South African public to vote wisely in your next elections. Look at us, we are still fighting the same dictator 33 years on! DA, BOTSWANA you are friends, you gave democratic hope to the people of Zimbabwe when no one else in African cared. Thank you!

NEW LEADER FOR ZIMBABWE

There isn’t anything the matter with EU and USA except that Mugabe is viewing it through a vision impaired by self-preservation. Poise has been disturbed and nerves have been racked, and fever has rendered men irrational; sometimes there have been draughts upon the dangerous cup of barbarity and men have wandered far from safe paths. In the New Zimbabwe, we will feel the reflex, rather than the hurting wound, but we will still think straight, and we mean to act straight, and mean to hold firmly to all that was ours when madness involved us, and seek the higher attainments which are the only compensations that so supreme a tragedy may give mankind. Zimbabwe’s present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration; not agitation, but adjustment; not surgery, but serenity; not the dramatic, but the dispassionate; not experiment, but equipoise; not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality. It is one thing

CIO DENFORD MASIYA PROTECTING HIS DICTATORIAL MASTER!!!

Image
At number 172 is Deputy Intelligence Officer Farai Machekanyanga. Last year a ZANU PF official known as Chikanya, from Cherutombo suburb in Marondera, stunned the community after she began confessing how she and a gang, which included Machekanyanga, assassinated suspected MDC-T supporters and dumped their dead bodies in shallow graves and dams. Mugabe's CIO's from the Close Protection Unit (CPU) protect him from protestors. Chikanya, dressed in ZANU PF regalia, had gone to her party offices and told them she wanted to confess her crimes because she was experiencing hardships. But party officials paid no attention and she went straight to the town bus terminus. Once there she gathered a crowd and narrated names of her accomplices, including Machekanyanga, and how they killed MDC-T activists in the run up to the June 2008 election. ZANU PF officials dispatched a truck to pick her up but she refused to be driven away. According to her testimony Machekanyanga also took part i
