The complete MDC-T manifesto

The Movement for Democratic Change led by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai unveiled its party manifesto, under which it plans to create one million jobs in five years, in Marondera on Sunday.

The party says its manifesto is a summary of its plan to transform Zimbabwe into a modern, healthy, happy, functional, integrated, democratic and prosperous society that takes pride in leaving no one behind.

“This manifesto is a reflection of the commitment to our ideology, core values, and guiding principles that make up the foundation of our comprehensive policy platform outlined in the MDC Agenda for Real Transformation (ART).

“The MDC party recognises that the people of Zimbabwe are suffering. We know that the solution lies in revitalising and transforming our economy. The MDC economic plan, presented in our JUICE strategy (Jobs, Upliftment, Investment Capital, Environment), will elevate Zimbabwe into a stable, growing and inclusive economy based on the rule of law.

“The MDC plan is aimed at uplifting all citizens in all corners of the country and will create 1 million jobs by 2018 and a $100 billion economy by 2040,” the party says.
