Resolutions
from Guruve South rural outreach programme
Crisis
in Zimbabwe Coalition
November 01, 2007
The Crisis in
Zimbabwe Coalition (Crisis Coalition) held a rural outreach programme
in Guruve South on the 31st of October 2007 giving an overview of
the governance crisis in Zimbabwe and perspectives on the 2008 elections
with close reference to the SADC initiative.
The meeting
attracted an audience of two hundred people (200) including five
village heads. Mr. P. Ruhanya of the Crisis Coalition and Mr. Mandiwanzira
of the National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) made presentations
on the topics.
The following
resolutions were made;
- No to elections
without a new constitution.
- Development
programmes should be isolated from politics as those supporting
the opposition are usually denied loans, food and agricultural
inputs.
- The ruling
ZANU-PF party should be confronted through holding joint meetings
with the opposition.
- People should
be allowed to vote using their national identification cards instead
of referring to the voters roll.
- There should
be independent electoral officers.
- People of
foreign origin should be allowed to vote as they are citizens
of Zimbabwe.
- Delimitation
of boundaries should be done by an independent body.
- Village
heads should not be used for partisan political programmes.
- People should
be engaged in intensive voter education.
- Election
officers should not be politically biased to avoid cases of intimidation.
- Need for
independent media structures and the reinstatement of Daily News
and The Tribune.
