ZINASU
makes resolutions at general council meeting
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
May 17, 2008
On the 17th
of May 2008 Zimbabwe National Students Union held its first General
Council meeting after Congress at YWCA - Westwood in Harare. Student
Representative Council Presidents from 40 tertiary institutions
country wide constituted the General Council. Chief amongst many
other student-related issues was the call for concerted efforts
by ALL to ascertain ultimate consolidation of democracy in Zimbabwe.
The general
council made the following resolutions:-
- Reaffirm
our support for the Movement for Democratic Change Presidential
candidate in the 27 June 2008 second election, Mr. Morgan Richard
Tsvangirai.
- Invite all
pro democracy institutions to combine efforts in build up campaigns
to the second election (run-off).
- To condemn
all acts of politically motivated violence perpetrated by Zanu
PF and to encourage communities to resist further attacks. (more
than 30 lives have so far been lost at the hands of Zanu PF)
- Lobby for
the adoption of key conditions for the forthcoming second election;
these are, open observers invitation to allow for International
and Regional observers, call for the deployment of AU peacekeeping
force to curb politically motivated violence, Results be released
within 48hours, and SADC to verify results of first election.
- After careful
and thorough analysis of the xenophobia
attacks on non-nationals in South Africa and the reasons behind
the attacks in question, the General Council resolved that Mr.
Mugabe squarely shares the blame. The argument being that the
situation at home has forced Zimbabweans to flee the country and
subject themselves to the harsh, inhumane and degrading conditions
in foreign land, South Africa included.
