NCA promises diaspora new constitution

MUSINA
Thousands of Zimbabweans gathered at Musina over the weekend to listen to efforts being made by the National Constitution Assembly to bring in a democratic, people- driven constitution before 2008 polls.
Coordinator for the NCA in South Africa, Tapera Kapuya, said no political party sho

uld dream of winning elections before a new constitution is in place.
“The groceries and remittances you are sending should be accompanied by a clear message to those at home to participate in democratization process. Zanu (PF) represents a history of betrayal and misery. It must be brought down for development to take place in our country,” said Kapuya.
“A people-driven constitution is the surest guarantee that Zimbabweans will not be subjected to the whims and caprices of self-seeking politicians ever again.”
An estimated crowd of 3 000 welcomed the move as a positive one towards ensuring that an election is in place in less than six months.
“Our 2001 National Convention resolution still stands: We will support a political party that commits to facilitating the writing of a people driven democratic constitution as part of its program. Equally, we will frustrate any political party whose mission is to exclude Zimbabweans from writing their own Constitution,” said Kapuya to a rapturous applause. – Trust Matsilele
