The National
Constitutional Assembly (NCA) says it will next week embark
on a series of nationwide street protests aimed at expressing its
displeasure on the continued political impasse between the country's
main political players.
Speaking at
a news conference in Harare this morning, NCA spokesperson, Murdoch
Chivasa said the civic movement would also use the demonstrations
as a platform to push the political parties to adopt its three point
proposal towards the solution of the country's crisis.
'The NCA also
reminds the people of Zimbabwe and the political parties that whatever
inclusive government is finally agreed to, it should only be viewed
as a transitional government that must facilitate the fulfillment
of the socio-economic needs of the citizens and simultaneously allow
for the people to write a new people-driven constitution followed
immediately by new elections under a new constitution
'We appeal to
SADC to adopt this three point approach to the Zimbabwean crisis.
The NCA will campaign for this three point plan through civic advocacy
and street protests. The first protests to push for the adoption
of this position will be on Tuesday 11 November in five centres
namely Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare, Masvingo and Gweru. These will
be followed within days by further protests in which the NCA will
be working with other organizations supporting this three point
plan,' said Chivasa.
He added that
the organization would also sell the idea to regional leaders who
are due to meet in Johannesburg soon to deliberate the solution
of the Zimbabwean crisis.
'The NCA will
today be sending a letter to each SADC leader urging them to support
this position,' Chivasa highlighted.
