MDC To Press Ahead With Demo Despite Govt Threats

The Movement Of Democratic Change (MDC) party led by Nelson Chamisa is planning to hold what it calls “the mother of all demonstrations” in the near future. The planned demonstration is meant to express anger with the current economic hardships prevailing in the country. Home Affairs minister Cain Mathema recently warned against what he called “illegal demonstrations” and threated that the government will deal severely with such. However, MDC secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora said his party will not be deterred by the threats. In an interview with the Daily News on Sunday, Mwonzora said

We are not going to demonstrate out of the benevolence of Zanu PF. Zimbabweans have a reason to demonstrate … the rights to demonstrate are enshrined in the Constitution and … Mathema should put that in his head.

It must not be forgotten that the people of Zimbabwe have rights enshrined under the Constitution. Section 59 of the Constitution clearly states that every person has the right to demonstrate and to present petitions.

The MDC is committed to holding authorities accountable to the dictates of our Constitution and the law. In view of this, we are committed to exercising our democratic right to demonstrate in a peaceful manner as required by the Constitution.

We are the agents of peace, as we have always shown. We will continue to pursue peaceful and democratic means to end the oppression and suffering of our people, regardless of the lies and machinations of the commission of inquiry.
