MDC-T says Zimbabwe is burning- Mugabe must step down to save the country

At our 4th Congress in October 2014 in Harare, we resolved to engage in demonstrations and to support any legitimate demonstration in the country. As the situation deteriorates in Zimbabwe, we stand in support of any exercise of the rights of the people in line with the dictates of the Constitution.

Zimbabweans reserve their right to petition and demonstrate peacefully. We in the MDC support any sector that is embarking in peaceful demonstrations. As a party, we urge all our members to join any legitimate demonstration that is meant to bring pressure on this regime. On our part, we shall continue to mobilize Zimbabweans against this government, which must  resign because it has failed the people of Zimbabwe.

We urge SADC to urgently intervene as Zimbabwe is burning. The region cannot fold its hands while the situation is worsening in a member State.

We are heartened by the fact that some civic organisations are planning for action on the 6th of July, 2016. We totally support that endeavour. However, we would like to warn Zanu PF not to resort to brute force as that would exacerbate an already volatile situation.

Peaceful demonstrations must continue. They are a constitutional right of the people of Zimbabwe.
