The MDC Youth Assembly congratulates the South African President
for his re-election to lead the ANC for a second term.
We take this opportunity to thank the South Africans for
following democratic processes by holding a peaceful process and congratulating
the winner without subjecting each other to rule number four of the
revolutionary command council.
We hope that the rest of the continent has something to
learn from the ANC as a Party taking into consideration that most revolutionary
political parties have led autocratic fortresses. Taking for instance, in
Zimbabwe, Mugabe has not been contested at an elective congress for more than 32
years.
President Zuma just like South African icon Mandela has
proved different in his first term and we hope he will continue in the same
spirit.
President Zuma has come handy on many instances putting his
weight in bringing solutions to the Zimbabwean crisis and as the Assembly we
feel we owe him a lot for being one of the main reasons why Zimbabwe is making
progress towards lasting and sustainable peace.
We are hoping that his guidance and support will usher in a proper
environment for a peaceful, free and fair election in Zimbabwe for the first
time in the history of the country’s elections. As young people of this beloved
nation, we hope we will kiss good bye to a bloodbath that has always been mistaken
for polls.
We also urge the youth of Zimbabwe and Africa as a whole to
respect their leadership and systems in their respective political
institutions, and promote constructive discourse among the youth especially in
a democratic society.
We also look forward to a progressive working relationship
with the ANC Youth League that is in the best interest of the young people in
Africa.
As the MDC Youth Assembly we wish President Zuma and the new
ANC leadership a fruitful reign at the helm of the party and the South African
government and it is our greatest hope that they will selflessly serve the
people of South Africa.
“Our era is Now, Let’s do it Now to shape our own destiny”
