The Young Communist
League of South Africa condemns the continued violation of human
rights and the harassment of the members of the Zimbabwe
Congress of Trade Union (ZCTU) by the ruling ZANU-PF government.
This shows that the Zimbabwean
government is engaged in a brutal offensive to ambush the people
of Zimbabwe and deny them their fundamental rights to enjoy freedom
and democracy.
It is now clear that
as long as Robert Mugabe is still at the helm, there will always
be 26 years of hell and a reversal of the liberation gains waged
by the people of Zimbabwe 26 years ago.
As the YCL we are bitter
and aggrieved at the brutal murder of Gift Tandare, the Youth Chairperson
of the National Constitutional Assembly in the Glenview suburb in
Harare, the arrest, beating and torturing of the leadership of the
main opposition. The YCL sends its deepest condolences to the Tandare
family and the struggling youth of Zimbabwe and his death should
not deter the people of Zimbabwe in general and the youth in particular
from their struggle to restore freedom and democracy in Zimbabwe.
We call on the ANC and
the government to condemn in strongest terms these outrageous violations
of human rights, torture and harassment of pro-democracy forces
in Zimbabwe.
The ANC cannot
afford to be quiet when those who offered solidarity when South
Africa was fighting and engaged in the struggle against apartheid
are being brutally attacked by the ruling ZANU-PF.
The YCL commits
itself to maximum mobalisation in solidarity with the ZCTU organised
general strike scheduled for the 3rd and the 4th of April 2007.
Further as a formation of the working class, the YCL is convinced
that Zimbabwe's salvation is not possible without the full support
and involvement of the organised working class.
