I had promised my family that 2023 was the last time I would work that hard on Zim politics. I have 4 children and the youngest was born right before the 2023 election. It was stressful for me & my family but I said, let me push just this one time and then focus on them and my business.
I have largely managed to do that in the past 2 years. Then I started seeing this push to amend our constitution illegally. You start asking, "What are we going to do about this?" You realize time is moving and noone seems to be treating this with the urgency it demands.
You realize, maybe every one is also feeling the same way as you do. Now, if I convince myself that my personal comfort and needs are more important than the future of our children, why would I expect somebody else to feel differently?
That is how I found myself involved in CDF. I am only here to defend and protect the supremacy and sanctity of our constitution. That is why we specifically made sure the constitution of CDF is unipolar - starts and ends with the CONSTITUTION!
Generally, we gravitate towards people we have worked with before, but we don't represent everyone. That is why we left most of the positions in the Diaspora unfilled because we need leaders to emerge as we go.
We have been talking to many people. I have been responding to hundreds in my DM, that is not efficient. So, we have prioritized setting up a membership portal in the next few days so we begin to organize ourselves.
One of the things that is important is to remove barriers to participation. There will be no GATEKEEPING. It is really hard to talk to people we disagree with or even dislike but for the sake of Zimbabwe we have to. I have spoken to pple that I know are ZANU PF and it is hard, but for the sake of our country I have to swallow it and I know some of them have had to do the same about me.
My hope as we build for resistance is that nomatter where you are you will do something about the existential threat we face. DO SOMETHING, please don't wait for somebody because we don't have time!
@acielumumba@GGuvamatanga@fridaydrinks_ Embarassing from you Lumumba, we know you are a dog for hire. But this level is too stupid for you. You think we are fools?
