New Considerations - For Discussion:
""The original CCC idea has however been contaminated, bastardized, hijacked by ZANU PF through the abuse of State institutions. CCC has not been aligned to its founding Purpose and Mandate. Further, CCC has now been rendered an extension of and been taken over by ZANU PF. CCC has, to all intents and purposes, been criminally handed over to ZANU PF.""
""There are fresh things we need to do. Let’s all work together for total freedom, true change and wholistic transformation for our beloved country. Giving up or giving in is not an option. Nothing comes without tenacity and resilience.""
Nelson Chamisa: 24th January 2024
It is a given' that the current Zimbabwe Constitution is "weak" in terms of democracy, personal freedoms etc - as it was a compromise with Mugabe, and further weakened by the psychopath Mnangagwa - then a "New Democratic Constitution" is a valid objective for any {new or existing} political party or movement.
For a people who have endured indescribable suffering under a dictatorship, the opposition should lead in setting the standard in constitutionalism and real democracy. Their constitution should have strong checks and balances that prevent any form of dictatorial tendencies and abuse of institutions that are supposed to be independent. A nation without strong independent institutions is ruled at the whim of whosoever is in power.
Lessons must be learned! Structure, Constitution, Defined Posts (elected, administrative and bestowed), Defined Policies for Infrastructure, Finances ( we cannot ignore Tendai Biti), International Agreements, Nationalisation of Strategic Resources and Minerals!! Health, Gukurahundi Justice, Stamping out and Jailing those involved with Corruption, A New Constitution, Remove all Partisan Judges, Replace ZEC with a real Electoral Body, Diaspora Vote!
All 'State Institutions to be re organised, Redefine the role of Police and Army.
