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.
