Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>By Alois Vinga<\/b> – MDC Alliance leader, Nelson Chamisa says Zimbabwe will soon become a template for good governance hinged on the true values of developmental democracy.<\/p>\n

In an interview with NewZimbabwe.com during Africa Day commemorations Tuesday, the opposition leader spoke highly on the need for national convergence saying this was the surest way the country could reclaim its democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cZimbabwe shall be a template for good governance built upon the foundation of a developmental, democratic and capable state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe civil society must be vibrant, speak truth to power and hold the government to account,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Asked on how he saw the country restore its yesteryear glory in the midst of current challenges, Chamisa said tangible plans were currently underway.<\/p>\n

\u201cFixing our country is urgent business. That is why we have set the convergence agenda in order to quicken and achieve change.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conversation has started and what\u2019s left is the rollout and practical implementation of the plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we can\u2019t tell when exactly the people\u2019s convergence will see the light of the day because these are national programmes which involve everyone and only national consciousness and engagement will define the benchmarks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Chamisa said in order to lead the New Africa vision, there was need to resolve all toxic and hate politics and place the country on an irreversible path to strong and independent institutions.<\/p>\n

The opposition leader called on the judiciary to be professional and independent while also urging parliament to hold the executive to account.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe executive must be capable, accountable and responsible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Turning to continental issues, Chamisa called for an Africa with \u201cone vision, one people, one market, one currency, one army, one visa, one residence and one government\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said Africa must reach a point where borders are eradicated and be allowed to flourish through provinces.<\/p>\n

\u201cImagine an Africa that lends others, not to borrow and beg, Africa without aid and handouts but surplus and savings. Imagine what that would mean for our industries. Imagine what that would do to young entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must decolonise the minds, hearts, lifestyles, music, arts, education and boundaries. It\u2019s doable. A New Africa in our lifetime is our task. Happy birthday Africa!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
