ZIM YOUTHS PUSHES MBEKI OVER ELECTIONS RESULTS

 

Over  300  youths thronged the Union buildings to hand in a petition demanding that Zimbabwe’s 29 March Presidential poll results that saw Morgan Tsvangirai of MDC ending Mugabe’s 28 years grip on power coming to an end be announced without delay. 

President of this militant youth formation Simon Mudekwa said his organization would not tire until regional leaders wake up from the slumber and recognize gross human rights violations of what is happening in Zimbabwe. 

We are prepared to soldier on until we give birth to a new Zimbabwe, time for boardroom meetings and a round table discussion is long gone. This is time to fight in the streets until the regime is gone, said Mudekwa. 

As patriotic Zimbabweans we have impressed it upon ourselves to fight until our country is freed from chains of ZANU PF and Mugabe’s dictatorship, Mudekwa added. 

On Saturday SADC leaders will be in the capital Lusaka for an urgent meeting to discuss Zimbabwe elections which caretaker President Robert Mugabe lost to his rival and veteran trade unionist Morgan Tsvangirai. 

The SADC summit will be the first diplomatic meeting to be attended by Zimbabwe’s two strongmen showing signs of a possible parallel government in the coming years if Mugabe denies conceding defeat which became obvious on 29 March. 

Meanwhile over a hundred Zimbabweans will tomorrow start a freedom march from Johannesburg to Musina a distance of 500 kilometers. The journey is scheduled to take one week ending on Saturday 18 April commemorating independence in Musina. 

On that Saturday Zimbabwe will hold a rally in Musina to be addressed by leading activist among them Giyani Dube and torture survivor Gilbert Moyo.
