NO ELECTIONS WITHOUT REFORMS

The reforms that the MDC-T is demanding are very simple and clear:

1)ZEC must be independent, professional and impartial in conducting its mandate.
2)There must be a levelling of the electoral environment.
3)There must be guarantee of the right to vote for every Zimbabwean, home and abroad.
4)A genuine and authentic voters roll must be maintained and given to all stakeholders.
5)Delimitation of constituences must be done based on proper population and demographic factors according to the voters roll and settlement features.
6)Media Reform and fair coverage by public media for all parties.
7) Security sector reform and realignment where the army, police and CIO are out of party politics and vote freely.
8) Provisions must be put in place to protect the people's will and smooth transfer of power.
9)Traditional leaders and other community leaders must not engage in partisan political activities.
10)Freedom of association and political tolerance must prevail.

From this,it is clear that the demands are not even too high, they are not even expensive, they are not technical. The demands are simple and practical and are in line with the best practice in all democracies.

Why vote when your vote will not be respected?
Why vote when your vote does not count?
Why vote when you are not allowed to freely choose whom you want to vote for?
Why vote when your other brother and sister has been denied to vote because he lives outside the country looking for money to feed you back home?
Why vote in an election where you vote together with those long dead?
Why vote when its up to ZEC and the Junta to determine who wins?

Harare

The newly appointed SADC chairperson Robert Mugabe crushed jobless youth in Harare today. The youth led by the MDC Youth Assembly staged a peaceful demonstration in the capital demanding jobs were crushed by heavily armed riot police. The deputy Youth Chairperson for Harare province Stan Manyenga and a female journalist was brutally assaulted, man handled and whisked away by rowdy police officers and many were injured in the me-lee.

MDC Youth is leading the demand your job campaign across the country where the unemployed are asking the SADC chairperson who leads the government of the day promised in his election manifesto in 2013. The claim in just and legitimate since the new constitution provide for. The SADC chairperson reprobates and approbate the constitution as he was making grandstanding political rhetorics to embellish his stained image. As Zimbabweans we are making fervent prayers to our deity that the ones mordant Mugabe is going to walk the talk of upholding constitutionalism.

As we speak the heavily armed police are cordoning every street of Harare at the same time the jobless youths are regrouping for their jobs.
The MDC Youth remain unshaken and unintimidated.

Demand your job now.... its your constitutional right

Clifford Hlatywayo- National Youth Spokesperson

Together to end,building a youth with a difference.
