Weekend activities update
Bulawayo Progressive
Residents Association (BPRA)
October 18, 2012
Bulawayo Progressive
Residents Association shall be holding Constituency Consultative
Meetings in Bulawayo this weekend to unpack the COPAC Draft
Constitution to the residents of Bulawayo.
The objective
of the meeting is to augment mechanisms of popular control by bringing
Members of Parliament, CSOs and residents to a point of dialogue
concerning the Draft Constitution and so as to solidify their
position regarding the direction which the country should take,
ahead of the 2nd All Stakeholders Conference and the Referendum.
It is the conviction
of the association that there is need to minimise the hegemony of
political parties in donating the debates around the remaining stages
of the constitution making process and to take the discussions to
the communities to ensure that residents become engaged and informed
partners. The association shall also distribute copies of the COPAC
Draft Constitution to the residents in the meetings.
BPRA will also
be holding Water Crisis meetings in wards 7 (Makokoba ) and ward
21 (Tshabalala) to further deliberate on the city's worsening
water situation. Water Crisis committee members are expected to
attend these meetings together with BPRA ward representatives.
