3. An inclusive process at national events
In our national council last Friday, the supreme decision-making body between Congresses resolved to move into new uncharted waters.
We formed this movement 19 years ago to complete the unfinished business of the liberation struggle and the national council resolved that henceforth, we will not allow ourselves to be second-class citizens in this country.
From now on, we will now be attending national events such as the national Independence Day, Heroes Day, Defence Forces day and other such national days.
The time has come for us to cast away the image of bastards in our own motherland. These are national days that should not be needlessly politicized by a single political party.
Elsewhere in the world, these are important days where partisan politics should never be allowed to take centre-stage. National days and national events should be attended by the entirety of a country’s leadership regardless of political affiliation.
As a leadership, we will be playing our part in carving out a new niche for our national politics and to give our despondent people a reason to hope again.
We are not bastards in this country but we are patriots.
We are a legitimate party represented in Parliament; a party running a sizeable number of our local authorities including the metropolitan provinces of Harare and Bulawayo.
So we are a patriotic national party that deserves its space on the high table where the people’s business is transacted and where we celebrate nodal achievements by the sons and daughters of this land.
From now on, we want am inclusive process in all national events.
See you at the national Independence Day celebrations.
