    Free-Zim Youth Movement
    March 04, 2008

    Makonism a new concept out of the political darkness his "Era of taker-over politics"

    There has been a lot of speculation ,about the declaration (In stating the Youths position) The Free-Zim Youth Movement would adopt at the wake of the recent political developments in Harare (The Makoni factor) ,with the Introduction of the former ZANU PF Politburo member Dr Simba Makoni into the political arena.

    FZY Movement has always subscribed to the core values and principals that "Simba nderedu , Nyika ndeyedu, Nhaka ndeyedu, ivhu nderedu" translated "the Power is ours ,the country is ours , heritage is ours and the land is ours," with that said our positions has been consistence with the ideals that a solution to the crisis had to be a None Genetically modified solution ,but an organic home grown solution. Encompassing or centred on National Interest "Vana wevhu" the "sons of soil".

    Thus FZY Movement never endorsed the externalised driven regime charge agenda ,but has been noted to advocate for leadership change that would revert to a system of social control as a process of re-engaging the Zimbabwean people, in empowering us to be the masters of our destiny.

    The new dimension policy should seek to unite all Zimbabwe people behind a clearly defined objective and not an individual, policy takes precedence over personality. To this day and age confusion over policy, ideology and personality cult has marinated present politicians contributing to the split among progressive forces.

    Tendencies of tribalism, sectionalism, and regionalism as well as the personality cult prevalent among certain personalities and parochial organisations in Zimbabwe must be buried....and foster a new era of politics. Zimbabweans have suffered enough to tolerate individualism politics centred on ego's, privatisation, commodification at the expense of the suffering ordinary people of Zimbabwe.

    Leadership qualities that we seek
    A committed and dedicated leadership is an important requirement in a revolutionary party. Leadership must acknowledge workers, peasants and those intellectuals fully committed to the task of national liberation and re-construction. The leadership must work on the basis of a clear set of principles and for clearly stated goals. It should lead and guide the people towards the attainment of these goals without fear or favour;

    The leadership must show integrity, honesty and dedication all the time. Corruption of any kind betrays the revolution and must be punished. The leadership is answerable for all its actions to the masses of the people.

    We support Dr Simba Makoni
    Above all ,running concurrently to the ills of the struggle in Zimbabwe is the MAVAMBO,KUSILE ,DAWN way ,termed by political analysts and cyber activists alike as the birth of the 3^rd force . Which embraces the core fundamental transitional values the three N's, National Authority , National re-engagement and National healing summarised as collective responsibility (Unity) as structures and tools for building a platform to induce for the rebirth of the once great nation of Zimbabwe.

    But Makoni has been part of the system....?
    Dr Makoni should be proud of being part a revolutionary party and movement that bought national independence to our country against Imperialism, however what we salute more his acknowledgement that the revolution has lost its direction and should move with time. A strong leadership from within is healthy for core values of social justice against dictatorship. Who was not part of ZANU and ZAPU?

    We have a lot of ex-Rhodesian army within the so-called democratic movement who have been part of the racist Smith regime. The concept and ideology of regime change is a non-factor to latter . . . . our judgement should be based on substance, level of articulation and relationship with the masses of Zimbabwe, rather than personality or organization.

    The role of the Diaspora is not only to embrace but foster this concept of national healing as our collective platform for our repatriation, re-construction and development plan.

    Down with corrupt leadership, kleptocracy, boss-player, and dictatorship, forward with social justice, maintain our heritage, core-moral values, and national history and pride.
