NELSON CHAMISA CALLING FOR PEACE AND UNITY.
Today, division runs deep in politics, business, families, and even the church. Hate and disunity do not build nations; they destroy them. Division now poisons our politics, our institutions, our families and even our churches. for too long, we have sown seeds of hatred, intolerance, unforgiveness, violence, discord and division in our country. the result is a society deeply fractured-politically, economically, within families and even church. hate, division and disunity do not build nations; they destroy them. The negative energy we waste fighting one another, pulling each other down and plotting against each other could instead be redirected toward productive solution and meaningful collaboration. The often, we are quick to blame others, yet we fail to recognize that, in many ways, we have become our owe greatest enemy. Today, we must choose a different path. We choose unity over division, cooperation over conflict, and responsibility over blame. By redirecting our energy toward dialogue, solutions and collective action, we believe healing is possible and progress can be achieved-for our nation and for generation to come. We must revisit our omissions and reverse our wrong actions. We must acknowledge our mistakes, remedy our errors, right our wrongs and learn from our failures. Unity is a critical foundational pillar for the perpetuation and advancement of a strong nation. But today, Zimbabwe, like many others in years before, celebrates Unity Day in a deeply divided nation. Decades-old grievances, like Gukurahundi, remain unresolved; political parties are marred by intolerance, violence and internal power struggles and opposition voices continue to face repression and parliamentary weaknesses. Socio-economic inequalities are widening with rising poverty and unemployment increasing the gap between rich and poor, while migration and brain drain weaken institutions. Electoral disputes and unresolved historical issues further fracture society, leaving our nation painfully divided, politically, socially and economically, far from the unity and recognition it was meant to achieve.
This is a clear indication of the abdication of duty by those entrusted with leadership. Instead of addressing the root causes of our divisions, survival and partisan point-scoring. Institution meant to uphold justice, fairness and accountability have been weakened or co-opted, allowing corruption, nepotism and illegitimate processes to take hold. Promises of reconciliation, equitable development, and social cohesion have largely gone unfulfilled, leaving citizens disillusioned and the nation fragmented.
CALL TO ACTION
Restore Majority Rule and Respect the Popular Will Disputed elections, contested national processes and illegal attempts to change rules or extend disputed terms must be stopped. Zimbabwe must honour and respect the voice of its Citizens, doing away with contested and discredited national processes and outcomes. Resolving this foundational issue is critical for addressing the nations deeper challenges.
Forge a new national consensus, Zimbabweans must find each other and walk in unity, celebrating their unity in diversity. We must build a shared vision that unity in diversity. We must build a shared vision that unites all Zimbabweans under a common trajectory, the Zimbabwe we demand. this new conversation must be inclusive, forward-looking and centered on collective aspirations rather than partisan interests. Pursue a Genuine political settlement Beyond dialogue and vision there must be an agreement on a political settlement that ensures fairness, accountability and stability. True unity requires not only understanding but concrete mechanisms to resolve disputes and foster nation cohesion.
GOD IS IN IT
