To the Executive committee of DVC
RE: Tajamuka/Sesijikisile's disengagement from the DVC
Following the regrettable comments made by Linda Masarire against the people of Matebeleland, Tajamuka/Sesijikisile SA released a statement distancing itself from these unfortunate remarks in a statement submitted to DVC WatsApp group on 17 December 2016.
Regrettably, Tajamuka/Sesijikisile was immediately labeled a tribal group by some members of DVC. These desperate and attention seeking members even went as further as to say, "99.9 percent of the Tajamuka/Sesijikisile membership is tribalists like Lind and all Ndebeles in Tajamuka/Sesijikisile are sellouts!" Despite our pleas to correct these ill-conceived perceptions, more DVC members seemed to support the notion until Tajamuka/Sesijikisile recognized representatives were removed from DVC group.
Following the above, Tajamuka/Sesijikisile RSA has deliberated the matter and has made a unanimous resolution to leave the Zimbabwe Diaspora Vote Coalition based on the following reasons:
1. The unfairness of the DVC in alienating and castigating the Tajamuka/Sesijikisile movement yet some desperate and attention seeking members were openly posting tribal hatred and remarks without any rebuking.
2. Tajamuka/Sesijikisile temporary suspension without an explanation before the suspension or shortly thereafter.
However Tajamuka/Sesijikisile firmly believes the diaspora vote lobbying must continue and therefore wish the remaining parties every success to this end. Tajamuka/Sesijikisile also wishes to reiterate that:
We embrace all tribes and races and will continue to do so in the future.
We will continue to push for economic freedom and injustices against the citizens through its
new 2017 blueprint.
We remain a non-tribal non-partisan citizen movement which will not promote disunity amongst
Zimbabweans.
We will immediately disengage ourselves from DVC but will support the brave cadres fighting for
the diaspora vote.
Tajamuka/Sesijikisile will continue to put pressure on the government until all corrupt activities are brought to a halt, until police brutality stops and until Mubage and Zanupf are out of power.
