August 16 : Citizens Message to General Sibanda and his Soldiers

Citizens have no intention of violent protests for we believe in the power of peaceful demonstrations being led by effective leadership structures.

We have clearly established policy goals that will define the direction and kind of government we want. We only need to freely raise our voices for honest, truth and compassion, against injustice, propaganda, corruption, greed, repression and lack of leadership.

General Sibanda needs only to take responsibility in his thoughts, feelings and behaviour in making the right decisions in protecting our constitution and the lives of our citizens. He needs to watch the Stupidity of ZANU surrogates who are driven by intelligence disability.

History, past experience and the image of his integrity should necessitate a commitment and genuine execution of his responsibility to the citizens of Zimbabwe.

He must reflect and realise that he has been responsible for the failure to stop violence and loss of life through his conniving with the ZANU in abusing the role of army.

This should never be a missed opportunity to gain his trust and respect from the people of Zimbabwe. The army should be the cornerstone of maintaining peace, rule of law and good governance if its role and responsibility remains out of partisan politics. August 16, General Sibanda, stand on your own feet and be a statesman and a leader who is motivated by principles and the rules of war. We need a conclusive solution in our politics and challenges we face as a nation.

Ensure the gun stays out of our politics. Be applauded for protecting the dignity and sanctity of our independence. Be the beacon of our military ethics and professionalism. Let the August 16 be the day of our recognition.Concerned Citizens
