APPEAL TO  MNANGAGWA ; The African Union; SADC On behalf of  Africans: Zimbabwe; and  humanity, to now do the right thing.

A. On behalf of our people in Zimbabwe; on behalf of all Africans; on behalf of humanity, I am appealing to you to now do the right thing.

It is long overdue. Our people in Zimbabwe have never known freedom in the last 300 years whether under White rule or African rule.
So much blood was spilled, so much suffering was endured, so much human sacrifice was made, in order to secure freedom for our people in 1980.

Mr President you were part of that fight for freedom. The AU and SADC were fervently in support of freedom.
It has all failed. All your well-meant efforts have failed. Our people are now in what many would call a hell-hole of human misery.

So please have the humility to accept the reality of this failure. Let us accept unequivocally that we Africans have failed. Let us do so in all humility.
Most importantly let us commit to resolving the plight of our people and delivering freedom to them for the first time. Mr President you have accepted that this is the challenge and you committed to achieving it.

B. There is a solution. It is a solution steeped in the simplicity of truth and reality.
The primary reason why the country cannot be currently rehabilitated is that its government lacks local and especially international credibility.
The world is now “globalized”. No country can survive without the acceptance, cooperation, approval and support of other countries. This is a resolutive condition of survival and success.

C. In order to achieve this critically important local and international support Government needs to be reconstituted so as to be representative of all the people of Zimbabwe.
A government of true national unity has never been more critical.

D. Zimbabwe has always been blessed with very good infrastructure resources and human capital of real quality.
For those reasons it has always been earmarked by international investors as a highly preferent destination.
A government that is truly representative and committed to national development will undoubtedly achieve the long overdue credibility needed and attract a flood of investment.
Zimbabwe is endowed with exceptionally talented people internally and across this planet.
That human capital needs to be harnessed and embedded at leadership level in order to pull our country out of the quagmire of human misery that it is in right now.
It is an obscene contradiction that Zimbabwe has the best human capital but languishes in a quagmire of failure.

E. Mr President –
i) engage independent international and local expertise on the way forward;
ii) appoint a government of real national unity that is representative of our people at all levels;
iii) mandate it to, without delay, configure a road map to socio-economic freedom for our people;
iv) implement that road map without fear, favour or prejudice.
v) When you do this our people will support you as a true leader committed to their freedom;
vii) the free world will support you for drawing our people into the mass of freed humans;
viii) the ancestral spirits will be pacified as the blood spilled in the cause of freedom will not have been in vain;
ix) and as a human being you will have made a difference, a real difference, a most precious difference, and not wasted your life at the altar of diabolical failure.
