RE: Please just go!!!
ZUPA, which represents the interests of millions of economically disadvantaged people, is saddened and shocked to hear of allegations that citizens are being brutalized at the hands of the authorities.
There are unsubstantiated rumours that more citizens, women, children even war vets are considering approaching the courts with violence related stories.
It is not our place to judge whether the allegations, claims and court affidavits are true, but for you as government to be at the centre of such a serious error of judgement in a country where Many thousands were slaughtered in 1980s and 2008.
We believe such conduct is threatening to derail Zimbabwe's peaceful democratic train also known as #ThisFlag.
We want to send a clear message that citizens will not tolerate that. This flag is for citizens by citizens.
We call upon all our unemployed members to join the campaign. There can never be a government where there are no citizens. As a government you will recall that you pledged to uphold the democratic principles and the moral high ground.
Thousands of innocent Zimbabweans have died since Shutdown. Others have lost limb and soul. The journey cannot and will not stop now.
You are fully aware that our democratic struggle seeks to ensure that we bring back dignity and morality to the government where no-one is above the law or is treated differently from others.
No more "Animal Farm" leadership. We view some of the allegations, especially threats against the good pastor as abuse to his convention rights. If proven, the allegations are of a serious nature. Remember governing is a collective effort.
No-one is the alpha and the omega of it. The millions of people we represent are living in poverty. The only way out for them is for the democratic train to reach its final destination where we can all have access to economic opportunities, human rights and respect.
Following what is now in the public domain about your alleged misgovernance, corruption, violence, poor leadership, we believe your continued occupation of the driving seat will compromise the efficacy of our country.
If you love Zimbabwe, you will not need anyone to let you know that your position as government and leaders of the Country is now untenable. As the organisation that represents the interest of the millions that stand to lose the most, we now kindly ask you to consider your position and resign with immediate effect to allow us as Zimbabweans to look for others who can take this struggle forward.
Zimbabwe has them in abundance, the willing, the brave and the able. That is what others in your position would do. We shall never forget your role in the struggle.
Zimbabwe is facing serious uncertainty, now requires a visionary, young and energetic leaders to embark on a huge programme to unite our people and forge new relations with the world for the best interest of our country.
Good bye old Ladies and gentlemen and thank you for your poor service. Heroes are those who do what is right for the countries of their birth.
Yours faithfully
Innocent Ndibali (ZUPA President)
