The Executive also took note of the developments happening within the war veterans body and we wish to applaud our war veterans for finally realizing that Robert Mugabe is only interested in perpetuating his power and nothing else. We applaud genuine war veterans for standing up to the failures of Mugabe in his attempt to create Mugabe dynasty in this Country. We have always appreciated the role that genuine war veterans played in liberating this country and that rich history can never be wished away. We call for the respect of war veterans who together with the masses of Zimbabwe toiled for the liberation of this beautiful country. The MDC government will surely have a role for all genuine war veterans whose love for this great country remains undisputed.
The executive expressed satisfaction with the unity and cohesion in the party. The party remains the most stable political movement in the country and we are proud to be associated with the party that continues to grow from strength to strength.
Lastly the Executive lauded the decision by his Excellency the President Morgan Tsvangirai in appointing two more deputies to help run the party. We are elated that the President has shown great wisdom by appointing former Youth Assembly chairperson, Hon Advocate Nelson Chamisa and Hon Elias Mudzuri to the positions of Vice Presidents. We are aware as an assembly that the appointments were as a result of the Congressional powers of the President given to him by the 4th Congress as well as the directive of the National Council which is the highest decision making body between congresses.
As the Youth Assembly we are more than happy with the appointment of Leader Nelson Chamisa who remains a proud product of the youth Assembly. We are happy that the Youth assembly remains a conveyor belt to producing leadership and we are proud that President Tsvangirai recognizes the role and capacities of the Youth members of the party. We are more than convinced that Hon Chamisa represents the youth.
We are more than convinced that the maturity and experience in Hon Mudzuri will steady the ship and take this country forward. His vast knowledge on matters of the state and business as well as his experience in handling internal cohesion and unity will go a long way in ensuring that President Morgan Tsvangirai takes over the leadership of this country in 2018.
However we note that there are two men who have decided to sue the party and while it remains their democratic right to do so , we are more than convinced that there is a third hand behind them. It is clear that once a person takes to court internal party issues, they would have expelled themselves from the party no-matter which organ they belong to. What is worrying is their capacity to sue the President and the party; these two men, one of them a petty thief and celebrated beggar cannot afford to pay costs associated with this lawsuit, let alone comprehend a legal argument.
We therefore urge comrades within the party who have decided not to be clear and who have decided to hide under the banner of “No comment “ to immediately come out clean to whether they subscribe to the majority views or not.In the wake of shenanigans by little known men within the party who have decided to sue the party, it is in the best interests of everyone to know exactly what our leaders think, so that we avoid the risk of them being wrongly accused of siding or sponsoring the said litigation against President and the party.
In the same manner we are calling upon leaders in the party who have been previously linked to the litigants to come out clean with regards to the latest developments.
It is now or never, In President Tsvangirai we believe
