healing” was the way to go, among other demands. The Organ was supposed to facilitate this process.
Without question, it has failed.
•
There is a need to ensure that the Organ is reconstituted with credible legal support,
financial aid and technical support in order for it to achieve its mandate.
•
The GPA needs to have the legal force to ensure that its provisions are binding.
•
There is need to demilitarize politics and ensure that the military are back in the barracks.
•
The political environment is still tense. The GPA principals need to do more to demobilize
their activists who are fomenting violence or intolerance, including traditional leaders.
•
The constitution-making process is one element in the range of mechanisms of transitional
justice and therefore if healing is to be achieved through this constitution, partisan politics
must be set aside. The problems of caused by coaching and pushing particular party
position would compromise the quality and legitimacy of the final constitutional text.
•
Politically motivated arrests, violence, intimidation and torture need to come to an end
as these undermine the GPA .
•
ZANU-PF needs to disband the militias and torture bases in the wake of the announcements
by the principals that there would be elections soon. Political parties must campaign
peacefully.
•
Hate speech and partisan jingles on national radio or television is anathema to national
healing and must be stopped immediately.
