MDC-N Youth Assembly warns MDC-T and Zanu PF youth leagues over violence
04 Jul 2011 at 08:39hrs | Views
It is now in the public domain that the MDC-Tsvangirai Youth Assembly is a grouping made up of hooligans and clowns who are heartless and will do all means necessary to get their Bosses into power. Their culture of violence which MDC-T Youth Assembly practices is only precedented by the notorious Zanu-PF Youth League.
The two Youth Institutions have by and large orchestrated a orgy of violent activities in the length and breath of the country. Sadly though, this violence has been unleashed on the suffering masses of Zimbabwe who struggle day and night for a plate of porridge .
Below is an outline of the footprints of these two Institutions
1) On 3 July 2006 Ambassador Trudy Stevenson and Councillor Paul Linos Mushonga were attacked by the MDC-T thugs at a house meeting in Harare
2) in 2002 Zanu-PF youth League together with War Veterans stormed the MDC regional Office and burnt it to ashes
3) President Ncube once said "They (Tsvangirai and Kitchen Cabinet) used militia groups to open up Zanu-PF militia controlled areas in 2000 and 2002. Those of us opposed to violence tried to manage these issues internally. Sometimes we did not even know about the extent of the violence. Gandhi Mudzingwa and Denis Murire went for training in Serbia on how to do mass action. I was the secretary general and did not even know about this but Tsvangirai did."
4) During the 2000, 2002 and 2005 elections Zanu-PF used the Hitler Youth styled militias to terrorise people to vote for it. The Youths raped, killed and abducted all opponents of the regime all in a bid to force march the people of Zimbabwe to vote for Zanu-PF.
5) Addressing about 10,000 supporters at Mwami rural business centre, about 240 km north-west of Harare in 2005, Mugabe said he could not fathom Zanu-PF youths losing in a violent confrontation against their rivals from the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party.
"There is no way I can take it that some of the Zanu-PF youths can be beaten by those from the opposition ... . You have to fight back, why are you so lazy (to fight)
6) In 2002 Zanu-PF Youths attacked and killed Mthokozisi Ncube an MDC activist near White City Stadium and they went unpunished
7) In 2011 MDC-T tired of exporting violence turned within and started the wanton orgy of violence. This is evidenced by the Intra-party Violence that marred the city of Bulawayo between youths aligned to Matson Hlalo and Gorden Moyo in the MDC-T pre-congress era.
8) Zanu-PF militia are responsible for the abduction and murder of countless MDC Activists some whose graves are unknown till date
9) Mr Tsvangirai has on many occasions admitted the culture of violence was the order normality in his party. Speaking during a ceremony to launch his party's "Zimbabwe Panel of Elders," which is chaired by Professor Gordon Chavunduka, Mr Tsvangirai said MDC-T was engulfed in violence amidst intense jostling for influential positions by its members.
"Even in my own party violence erupts here and there as people contest for political positions," he said.
10) MDC-T Youths murdered a Police officer while his colleague was left for dead after being brutalised at Glen View 3 Shopping Centre in Harare. This was an attack on the state officers as in accordance with the violent culture of MDC-T youth assembly which they inherited from Zanu-PF Youth League.
These are but to footprints of the two notorious Youth Brigades who have sown the seeds of violence in Zimbabwe.
We would like to warn these two instruments of evil who are burnt of destroying the little that is left of what the Mugabe regime has destroyed.
We are ready to mobilise the young people of Zimbabwe in peaceful protest to curb further implementation of your violent behaviour which you have unleashed on the vulnerable people of Zimbabwe.
We are ready like as the scripture say: to raise a standard against you and defeat you peacefully.
We want to send the message straight even to the mother parties of these violent youth institutions that: Discipline your youths and recommit to the spirit and latter of the global political agreement.
The youths of Zimbabwe have a choice: to join the violent twins and end up rejected by the parties like used condom after use or join the MOVEMENT FOR DEMOCRATIC CHANGE YOUTH ASSEMBLY led by President Gideon Mandaza and General Discent Bajila and be progressive and walk towards a fair and just green Zimbabwe full of life, flowing milk and honey.
