Preparations for the much awaited People's Free Zimbabwe
Peaceful March remain on course and are now at an advanced stage.
The people's Free Zimbabwe peaceful march will be held on
Friday 16 August 2019, in line with Section 59 of our national Constitution
that guarantees all citizens of Zimbabwe the unconditional right to demonstrate
and petition peacefully.
In this regard, no stone has been left unturned in strict
measures to ensure that the people's Free Zimbabwe march is going to be most
peaceful one ever witnessed in the country.In particular, hundreds of peace
marshalls will be deployed. Further, digital cameras will be used to film the entire
march to ensure that any violent planted elements trying to disrupt the
peaceful march will be fully recorded.
This is meant to ensure that the people's Free Zimbabwe
march is not just guaranteed to be peaceful, but also to be resounding success.
The MDC is thus concerned by the spirited attempts by Zanu
PF and the rogue regime to message and plan for the people's Free Zimbabwe
march, that they are clearly not part of. Indeed, Zanu PF and the rogue regime
have no business whatsoever related to the people's Free Zimbabwe peaceful
march.
lt is clear that that both Zanu PF and the rogue regime are
now in a panic mode and desperate to justify their well-known own violent
behaviour. This then explains why they are now actively using their
functionaries such as Cain Mathema, Pupurai Togarepi, Energy Mutodi, and Victor
Matemadanda, among others, in a futile attempt to dictate the nature and
character of the forthcoming people's Free Zimbabwe peaceful march.
lndeed, Zimbabweans are not surprised at all by the regime's
desperate efforts to disrupt the popular people's Free Zimbabwe peaceful march
for its behaviour is typical of similar other dictatorships that always panic
whenever the people express their constitutional rights.
lndeed, the rogue regime's behaviour is a strong reminder
of such dictatorships under despots like Idi Amin Dada, Sani Abacha, Mobutu
Sese Seko, Slobodan Milosevic, Pol Pot, Augusto Pinochet, Nicolae Ceausescu,
among others.
But like those similar dictatorships the rogue regime in
Zimbabwe will not be able to stop the people from expressing their popular
wishes and aspirations. In fact, like all other dictatorships, the rogue regime
will eventually collapse under the heavy weight of the democratic dreams of the
people of Zimbabwe.
lronically, the regime claims it is a "New
Dispensation". Yet its behaviour clearly shows that it is nothing but the
same old Zanu PF regime Zimbabweans have come to know since 1980.The rogue
regime is continuing in the same old repressive tendencies that were used
against Joshua Nkomo and PF Zapu, Edgar Tekere and ZUM; and Morgan Tsvangirai
and MDC.
However, no amount of determined attempts by the rogue
regime will stop the popular tide of the people's call for democratic change in
Zimbabwe. lt is clear that Zimbabweans are now so tired of suffering endlessly,
and totally fed up with the painful repression from the rogue regime.
Indeed, the rogue regime must be reminded that the people
of Zimbabwe are now so determined to make sure that all perpetrators of violent
injustice will no longer be allowed to get away with murder, both literally and
metaphorically.
Freedom may be denied temporarily, but it cannot be denied
permanently. Neither can be justice be delayed forever. So it is now just a
matter of time before freedom and justice prevail in Zimbabwe.
lt is now clear to the whole world and indeed to all
Zimbabweans across the entire national spectrum, that the rogue regime has
failed dismally to resolve the never ending crisis in Zimbabwe.
This explains why so many Zimbabweans from across all
political divide; be it business, labour, churches, women, youths, students,
social movements, civil society, among others; are all very eager to actively
participate in the forthcoming people's Free Zimbabwe peaceful march.
We are totally confident that the people's Free Zimbabwe
march on Friday 16 August will both be peaceful and a resounding success.
