"WE don't want
to create a socio-legal order in the country in which people will
go to bed after having barricaded their doors and windows because
someone from the special police branch will visit them during the
night, no we are tired of it that's why we are in this revolution
for as long as it is going to take." -Dr. Eddison Zvobgo 1974
On Saturday, 14th April
2007, The Save Zimbabwe Campaign will hold a prayer meeting at St
Patrick's Community Church in the suburb of Makokoba in Bulawayo.
The prayer rally will commence at 0900hours till 1200hours. Representatives
from labour, the church, students unions, political formations and
other pro-democracy groups are expected to converge in Bulawayo
to pray for the nation currently facing a deep- seated and multi-layered
national crisis.
Speakers include,
the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) leaders, Morgan Tsvangirai
(President); Arthur Mutambara (President), National
Constitutional Assembly (NCA) Chairperson, Dr Lovemore Madhuku;
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU) President, Promise Mkwananzi;
Christian Alliance Chairperson, Dr Reverend Levy Kadenge; Paul Siwela
(ZAPU FP) Archbishop Pius Ncube; the Zimbabwe
Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) among others.
We call upon the people
of Zimbabwe to attend this rally which shall shape Zimbabwe's
destiny. The leadership of the Campaign once again reiterates its
commitment to the resolution of the Zimbabwean crisis in total defiance
of the brutality being perpetrated by the State security agents.
We deplore the use of
violence by those that are in power not by peoples' consent
but through coercive means. The State has an obligation to protect
the citizenry and to respect the human rights, including the civil
and political liberties of the people. We denounce the current attempts
by the State-sponsored terror group, Chipangano to abduct the widow
of the late Gift Tandare. The Mbare-based terror group descended
on the Tandare residence in Glen View in the evening of the 5th
of April 2006 and threatened to rape and torture Tandare's
wife.
As the Save
Zimbabwe Campaign, we demand to vote in 2008 under a new democratic
and people-driven constitution. The elections must be held under
regional and international norms governing democratic elections.
