Activist Linda Masarira says she is not pushing for the
return of Robert Mugabe but the respect of the Constitution.
“We have no interest in Mr Mugabe being restored as
President and if anything our political activism arose because we were violated
by his tenure ad President from when he was Prime Minister and nothing in our
view has been good from his leadership of Zimbabwe. We don't even feel
democratically good by the sad fact that Mr Mugabe is our former President.
Our issue is that the Constitution is supreme and must so
reign and must never be violated or ridiculed. The Constitutional order must be
respected at all times ensuring that in times of good or bad the Constitution
remains supreme.
Our thrust is merely to have the actions of the arm
declared invalid to the extent that they are inconsistent with the
Constitution.
“Civilian rule must always be left untainted by actions of
the army for we are not at war. The President must be allowed to govern in
terms of the Constitution and not fear interference which he does not choose, a
President may align himself with any views and if unconstitutional then such
conduct can be curbed via constitutional means not through bogus court rulings
and ridiculing our judiciary to wrongly interpreted our laws.
It must be understood that we do not support Mr Mugabe nor
do we support G40 nor Lacoste but the Constitution is what we rally behind.
