Rtd Cpt Matapo spells better Zimbabwe

Why United Crusader for Achieving Democracy (UCAD) deserves to lead Zimbabwe? Albert Matapo has all the qualities of the leader that Zimbabwe wants. According to Matapo, Zimbabwe shall become an example of a shining democracy, not only in Africa but in the whole world.

He is the only political leader who cannot be bribed by Zanu PF.

He has promised that Zimbabwe shall be divided into 5 States, and that the post of President shall be rotated amongst the 5 states so as to a chance to minority tribes such as Ndebeles and Kalangas found mainly in the Western State, Karangas and Vendas and Shanganis in the Southern State, Ndaus, Manicas and some Zezurus in the Eastern State, Kore Kores, Tongas, Shanges and some vaBudyas from Mtoko in the Northern State. The Central State will be made up of all the tribes but the majority will be Zezurus, Whites, and Asians.

The post of President shall be rotated on a maximum of two four year terms. We shall ensure that cabinet ministers do not exceed 15. The size of the government shall be reduced. Traditional leadership shall be respected hence shall be responsible for their regions.

Every Zimbabwean regardless of race, tribe, historical origin, sexual orientation, gender, political affiliation, religion shall have access to all the basic requirements including access to land. No one shall be discriminated. It shall be treasonous to practice racism and Tribalism in New Zimbabwe under President Matapo.

In new Zimbabwe, there shall be;
* security of tenure
* a purely people driven constitution which shall be adhered to
* rule of law

Job creation and Economic Stabilisation shall be a priority, and will directly help alleviate poverty. That shall be achieved through the employment of and adherence to proper economic fundamentals, proper management of the economy, zero tolerance to corruption etc. Economy growth and employment will also be fuelled by;

* The construction of a new Capital within 10 years
* The construction of both road and rail networks throughout New Zimbabwe
* The setting up of modern villages for every Zimbabwean
* the proper handling of the country's mineral resources,

Various committees with individuals and organisations from all over the world will be set up to advice government on matters of policy and governance. We shall draw a leaf from how particularly both Japan and South Korea became modern states.We shall invite major Engineering companies, car manufacturing firms etc to invest in Zimbabwe.

Education standards and infrastructure shall also be upgraded

We will set up a lands commission to be drawn from NGOs to advise us on the best ways to resolve the chaotic land reform and the grabbing of farms that was done by Zanu PF.The Lands Commission shall be drawn from both NGOs and Unbiased credible international organisations.

Those who committed atrocities and various other serious crimes shall be prosecuted. An independent Tribunal shall be set up to deal with all offences committed since 1980. Other cases that are suspected to have been mishandled by the courts from 1980 shall be reviewed.Those who were unfairly acquitted or were unfairly given lighter sentences shall receive appropriate verdicts. Examples shall be set so that no repeat of the so called times of madness in which there was Gukurahundi, chaotic land invasions, murambatsvina and arbitrary arrests, harassments and torture of opposition politicians shall ever occur. Those who were victims of the times of madness shall be restituted and compensated. The looters are holding on to most of their loot so a reverse process shall be done.

The army shall be greatly downsized so much so that our army shall be well trained, well equipped, well housed within the camps and remunerated.no soldier shall stay within the civilians. Every person deserves hero status hence we shall be equal. But we shall not respect the Zanu PF herodorm. No one is more superior than others, we are all equal before God. No one shall be greater than the people.

We shall respect international laws. We shall not allow any country to colonise us hence we shall make sure that we do away with the neo-colonialism by mainly China and Russia that have besieged Zimbabwe.

Former captain Matapo recently completed his three-year jail term over an attempted jail break following his detention for allegedly plotting to topple President Robert Mugabe after serving a five year sentence. Matapo also made sensational claims that his co-coup accused former army boss Brigadier-General Paul Armstrong Gunda was assassinated by State security agents who falsely linked him to the alleged plot. Gunda, who was Commander of One Brigade in Bulawayo and was declared a national hero, died in mysterious circumstances on June 20, 2007 after his car reportedly collided with a goods train at at a rail/road crossing near Watershed College outside Marondera, a version which has been challenged by his widow.
