We wish to point out that the correct
position of the Youth Assembly with regards to the issue of suspended Deputy
Treasurer General Mr Elton Mangoma is reflected on the last Youth Assembly National
Executive meeting held in February this year.
As an Assembly, we do not believe in name
calling of our youth leadership and membership and in this regard we wish to
point out that we do not agree or condone the behaviour of Mr Mkwananzi in
calling fellow youth members, “ Rowdy, sycophants and thugs“, no matter the
differences.
We wish to point out that the Secretary
General has been communicated with to the effect that there is a clear way of channelling
information to the public from the Assembly and that such responsibility lies
in the office of the Spokesperson. It has also been communicated to him that he
should desist from uttering unsubstantiated statements contrary to the views and
standing resolutions of the Assembly and party in general no matter how
different it might to his personal views and aspirations as we operate as a
collective.
The Youth Assembly has also
communicated to the Secretary General that we rather find his views as contrary
to what was agreed to as an Assembly. The Assembly find it as an act of
sabotage and indiscipline that he can go to a National Council and trample upon
our resolutions as we made it clear that Mr Mangoma had to be suspended and
undergo a disciplinary hearing. We expected the Secretary General as a
representative of the Assembly to toe this line. We take great exception to the
fact that the Secretary General can divulge party proceedings in the public
domain and such an act is tantamount to security breach. We are no longer sure
how much of such sensitive information the Secretary General churns out to
people.
Appropriate decisions will be made at
the appropriate time on the conduct of the Secretary General which we feel has
been a violation of the Constitution.
We urge the public to disregard Mr
Mkwananzi’s views. His views are not a reflection of the body of opinion within
the youth assembly.
The Assembly will remain united and
focused to achieve a more democratic, prosperous and united Zimbabwe.
Thank You,
Love live MDC Youth Assembly
Long Live President Morgan Tsvangirai
Long Live the People’s Project
Together to end,building a youth with a difference.
