The National Constitutional
Assembly (NCA) is deeply angered and disturbed at the cold blooded
murder of Gift Tandire, our Youth Chairperson for Glenview, Harare,
by Harare regime's para-military police deployed to stop thousands
of Zimbabweans from attending a mass prayer meeting at Highfield
Grounds in Harare. Gift was gunned dead at Mhizha Primary school
in Highfields. A number of leaders of the pro-democracy movement,
including our National Chairperson, Dr Lovemore Madhuku; National
Spokesperson, Madock Chivasa; and all our provinvial chairpersons;
and the MDC leadership from both factions were heavily assaulted
and remain in detention.
The meeting
had been banned by the Police under the notorious Public
Order and Security Act. The prayer meeting was organised under
the Save Zimbabwe Campaign, a pro-democracy coalition of which the
NCA is a member. He had been part of our youth activists who have
and continue to play a critical role in the struggle to establish
substantive democracy in the country. His body has since been taken
by his butchers, and we are still working, with our legal team,
to establish more details about the incidence, in the hope that
those responsible and their handlers will be made to account for
their heinous deeds.
We wish to warn
those who are working in the agency of the state and under the guise
that they are covered by it as they wantonly cause misery to those
fighting for freedom, that they will soon bear the consequences
of their acts. People's patience is running out. A time is nearing
when the masses of our battered people will refuse to just watch
and mourn as forces of evil reign. As the NCA we maintain that no
self respecting human being should even respect or honor repressive
laws or orders. We will continue to defy anything that fouls the
very existence of a cvilised people. We will not retreat at the
threat of those who have undermined the dignity of our nation and
continue to foul the aspirations of the mass of our people.
