The MDC successfully held its Provincial Congress in
Manicaland despite a failed attempt to disrupt proceedings by the Zimbabwe
Republic Police.
Signs of desperation in Zanu PF and the military Government
are now clear. They are running scared of the regeneration and strengthening agenda
of the people's alternative.
The people of Manicaland's resolve and determination is
however a clear sign that the democratisation agenda cannot and will not be
stopped.
It is clear that the structures of the MDC will defend
democracy through peaceful means. We
commend the structures for exercising restraint when police invited themselves with the intention to
disrupt, influence and corrupt our processes.
The Constitution is
clear that the Police Service must not prejudice the interests of another
party. Yesterday, they violated the conduct provided in section 208 of the Constitution.
This is why the MDC continues to demand the establishment
of an independent complains mechanism provided in section 210 of the Constitution.
