MDC-Alliance leader Mr Nelson Chamisa has threatened to
unleash unspecified action that will propel his party to power soon after its
ongoing congress which is being held in Gweru.
Mr Chamisa’s utterances come amid various reports that a
group of shady organisations from Zimbabwe with links to the opposition
MDC-Alliance have in recent months been hard at work laying groundwork for
civil unrest set to be unleashed next month.
Foreign organisations are co-ordinating workshops and
training in Zimbabwe, the region and overseas to effect regime change in the
country. According to information at hand, the organisations are seeking to
unleash a massive wave of violent demonstrations beginning next month, with
ring leaders of civil unrest having received training in the Czech Republic and
the Maldives.
Addressing his party supporters at the ongoing congress at Ascot
Stadium in Gweru, Mr Chamisa said the party was ready for a direct
confrontation with Government and President Mnangagwa even if it meant blood
will be shed. He said MDC-Alliance supporters were prepared to die to achieve
their “objective”.
“So what is 2019 for us. It is a year of a new direction
for the nation and the party. We want to change the direction of the nation.
Tichingobva ku-congress chatsva chatsva chatsva (As soon as the congress is
finished its game on). We are going to mobilise for change in this country.
We are going to come and talk to you, do you agree with me
that as soon as we finish our congress togadzirira nyika yedu (we sort out our
country). Canaan is not far. It cannot be far and we are almost getting there.
“Today tichibva pano sunga one sunga dozen. A people united
can never be defeated. Isu takafa kare Tsvangirai akati pawaruma ruma sejuru
chero musoro ukasara damburika ipapo (We died long ago and Tsvangirai told us
long back that we must be like ants that will better lose the body while
clawing to their target). I said 2023 is far. Why do I say it’s far, we must
make sure that we have a democratic election in this country as soon as
possible. If they refuse we are going to drag them. Some asked me how we are
going to get there. There is a dark cloud over us and unless we desiccate the
country will plunge into further problems,” he said.
Mr Chamisa also castigated rowdy behaviour in his party
accusing youths of being bribed by beer and money.
“These young ones (party youths) are being bought beer and
being given money. This is the problem in my party. If you campaign you should
campaign properly,” he said. Sunday News
