The Zimbabwe Republic Police
(ZRP) today ordered the NCA not to go ahead with its NO Vote campaign meeting pencilled
for Friday the 8th of March 2013 at the Chipinge Town Council Boardroom.
In instituting the order
Commanding Officer for Chipinge, a one Wasara informed NCA Officer Terrance
Maoneke that the meeting could no longer take place as initially agreed.
The Police detail, Wasara
adviced Maoneke that the meeting was illegal and that their office was not
informed on time. This is despite the fact that the NCA applied to hold the
meeting on the 1st of March 2013.
NCA Chairperson Professor
Lovemore Madhuku, International Socialist Organisation Zimbabwe Chapter leader
Munyaradzi Gwisai and members of National Taskforce were scheduled to speak at
the meeting.
We are greatly disturbed by
the desperate and intimidatory actions of the police and the state, which are a
clear sign of panic as we head for the referendum. They are using guerrilla
tactics to cow the people of Zimbabwe into voting for their fraudulent draft
constitution in the referendum.
The NCA is worried by the
unevenness of the playing field, the barring of our meetings, and the media
blackout especially from the state media in the run-up to this referendum.
We still contend that a
credible referendum is a precursor to a credible election. If the referendum is
not free and fair and credible, then rest assured the election will not be
credible as well.
ASIJIKI!! No Retreat No
Surrender
