Zimbabweans are being urged to boycott any early election called by ZANU PF, if the party goes ahead and ignores recent resolutions by leaders in the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
Such a boycott has been listed as a critical step in gaining momentum towards real democratic change in Zimbabwe, according to the human rights NGO, the Solidarity Peace Trust.
The Trust launched a new report on Zimbabwe in Johannesburg on Wednesday, which details ZANU PF's obvious contempt for the unity government. The 52 page report, titled 'The Hard Road to Reform' was launched together with a 40 minute video, with images of how ZANU PF has refused to honour the Global Political Agreement, including images of renewed violence and intimidation against Zimbabweans.
The report states that since the formation of Zimbabwe's unity government in 2009, the politics of the country have been "convulsed with a recurring set of problems," mainly because ZANU PF has repeatedly obstructed the full implementation of the GPA.
