Remain peaceful
Dumiso Dabengwa, Kusile-Mavambo-Dawn
June 16, 2008

The first Kusile-Mavambo-Dawn workshop involving the provinces of Matebeleland North and South, Bulawayo, and Midlands was held in Bulawayo from 13 to 15 June in preparation for the national workshop to be held later this year. Two hundred participants from the four provinces attended and issued the following statement:

"We would like to thank our noble supporters and all other Zimbabweans for their peaceful conduct during the March elections. We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented and deplorable political violence that has gripped the nation as we approach the presidential run-off and call on all Zimbabweans to observe the law. Furthermore, we remind them that there is no one worth dying for and killing for on this earth and that it is government responsibility to ensure that there is peace and tranquility in the country.

As we pursue our quest for leadership change in the country, and if our bid for a Government of National Unity fails, we urge our supporters to vote for Morgan Tsvangirai for president during the run-off and also implore whoever is going to win subordinate himself to the desired political, economic and social interests of the people of Zimbabwe.

We are mindful of the concerns raised by our supporters after the March election, and their request that our project consolidates its position in the country's politics and transforms itself into a vibrant, democratic and people driven political organization.

We once again urge all Zimbabweans to be peaceful during the campaign period and beyond the June 27, 2008 run-off.

Let us get Zimbabwe working again
