NCA
statement on the attacks on the ZINASU leadership
National Constitutional Assembly (NCA)
March
09, 2010
The National
Constitutional Assembly (NCA) strongly condemns the violent attacks
on the ZINASU
leadership by MDC youths at the memorial service of Amai Susan Tsvangirai
at the Glamis Stadium on Saturday 6 March 2010.
Shockingly this happened
at a time when we were all remembering the life of a heroine and
a proponent of democracy, Amai Tsvangirai. The NCA was further surprised
to note that the attacks happened in the full glare of the MDC leadership
including its President, Mr. Morgan Tsvangirai.
The attacks left four
members of the ZINASU executive injured including President Tafadzwa
Mugwadi, Secretary General Kurayi Hoyi, Treasurer Tafadzwa Kutya
and the Secretary for legal Affairs Archieford Mudzengi (critical
condition) and they received medical treatment at Avenues Clinic
on Saturday 8 March 2010.
As the NCA, we do not
condone such barbaric and sadistic behavior especially coming from
the MDC, a key ally in the pro-democracy movement. The behavior
by the MDC youths exhibited on Saturday is typical of, if not worse
than that of ZANU PF thugs.
One wonders if this is the behavior that the MDC has been taught
by their new found partners in the inclusive government.
We urge the MDC especially
its leader Mr. Morgan Tsvangirai to openly denounce this violent
behavior and unacceptable behavior.
We hope that
such barbaric acts will be a thing of the past from today going
forward. On behalf of the NCA, I wish the ZINASU leaders a speedy
recovery and hope that they will continue carrying out their mandate
in defending academic freedoms, the fight for good governance and
the struggle for a genuine people driven constitution that will
usher in a democratically elected government after a free and fair
election.
