    Preamble

    On 11th February 2009, a Government of National Unity (GNU) was formed between the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU PF) and the two formations of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) with the swearing in of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara. Its birth filled us with hope. The promises of the Global Political Agreement (GPA) signed on 15th September 2008 that led to the formation of the new government gave Zimbabweans an opportunity to shine:

    • "Concerned about the recent challenges that we have faced as a country and the multiple threats to the well-being of our people;
    • Dedicating ourselves to putting an end to the polarization, divisions, conflict and intolerance that have characterized our country's politics;
