MDC-T President Dr Thokozani Khupe’s Christmas Message

Dear Fellow Zimbabweans,

This Christmas should have been a time of joy and families coming together to celebrate the festive season. For an extended period of time, we’ve had no reason to celebrate, little to none to look forward to in the year ahead.

Sadly this year is no exception too, many lost their loved ones through the carnage on our poor road network. Many more lost their loved ones through preventable diseases and the infernos that visited us throughout the country.

Millions continue to live in abject poverty as a result of the poor policies and decisions of the ruling elite. The fuel queues continue unabated leaving many stranded and away from family and loved ones while the black market has stocks of unlimited supply at obscene prices.

This is an indictment on the political leadership of our nation which a few months ago promised us a country “flowing with milk and honey” in exchange for our vote.

Let us resolve on this Christmas day, that as a Nation, Zimbabwe, that we need the birth of a messiah and that Messiah is each and everyone one of us. Our resolve means that this is the last Christmas we’ll spend in such deplorable conditions. Each messiah amongst us has a singular task to create opportunities for the next person.

√ Together we can take back our country to its founding ideals.

√ Together we have the power to defeat those who continue to steal and further corruption with its corrosive outcomes.

√Together we have it in our power to defeat those who use lies and propaganda to divide and marginalise us for political expediency.

√Together we have it in our power to defeat the old order of oppression and tribalism.

√Together we have it in our power to transform our country into an “Equal Opportunity for All” society.

On behalf of the National Executive Committee of the MDC-T, l wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New year.

Dr Thokozani Khupe
MDC-T President
