Silence
will never breed peace and any violence should be totally condemned
Zimbabwe
Civic Education Trust (ZIMCET)
February 27, 2002
ZIMCET calls for mass participation in the campaign for peace
Like one pastor
asked, ‘If Jesus were to come to Zimbabwe today, what would he do?’,
so do we pose the same question to Zimbabwe. We have all seemed
to take a back seat and watched while the rest of the country that
we all claim to love so much has slowly been consumed by a culture
of violence and intimidation. The hate language that is continually
being used at political rallies and the mudslinging that characterises
our political scene at the moment prove the highest level of intolerance
which responsible citizens should not accept. Why do we have to
call people of different views our enemies?
If you have
remained silent over the issue of violence in the past, make your
stand now. We cannot continue begging for peace from the perpetrators
of violence. We shall not be silent anymore and whoever is responsible
for violence should be exposed and condemned in the strongest of
terms. We should all remember that there is life after the Presidential
Elections.
Silence is a sign of cowardice
and Zimbabweans are not cowards. Let your voice be heard by speaking
out against violence on our hotline numbers: 011-758334, 011-758335,
011-615624, 091-266327,023-822144, 023-274805
and
023-272222.
Peace shall
prevail.
