CCC leader Nelson Chamisa has congratulated Zimbabwe for attaining 42 years of Independence.
Addressing Zimbabweans in his Independence Day speech Chamisa said Independence means happiness as it brings peace, dignity and unity of purpose.
“Independence means the respect of citizens and their dignity by leaders, good relationships, love and unity, free and fair elections without rigging, no killing of each other because the peace Zimbabweans joy was brought about by those elders, some of who are late”.
Chamisa said it is important for the nation to respect and honour those who contributed to the country’s liberation struggle.
He said the land that was given to the people through the land reform programme will remain theirs, “the programme is, therefore, irreversible”
“No one shall separate us from our land and we will remain united on the agreement we made as Zimbabweans to take back what is ours. Let us preserve the land and work hard to produce as a nation,” Chamisa said.
Chamisa urged Zimbabweans to register to vote saying: “The new gun today is not the AK47 but the vote.”
He urged the government to respect war veterans and pensioners and give them enough money to survive.
