Zimbabwe - August 16, 2024
The Mnangagwa government, servant of the IMF and imperialism, starves the poor people and cracks down and imprisons workers' leaders and activists
Unconditional freedom for all political prisoners!
Enough of persecution and threats by the government and the employers against all activists!
The brutal imperialist offensive at a global level is expressed today in Southern Africa with enormous plundering and the deepening of the super-exploitation and slavery of the working class.
They have imposed in South Africa the government of Ramaphosa, former manager of the Lonmin platinum mine in Marikana, the person directly responsible for the murder of the 34 miners shot in cold blood during the 2012 strike. He is a direct agent of AngloAmerican and the transnationals in the region, slavers of all migrant workers throughout the south of the continent.
This Ramaphosa government, the murderer of workers, is openly supported by all Stalinism from the COSATU bureaucracy and within ANC itself.
In Zimbabwe, the IMF strangles and bleeds the nation out, which is one of the poorest of the planet. That is why we see today that true dictatorship of Mnangagwa persecuting and imprisoning well-kown labour and student leaders such as Robson Chere, general secretary of the ARTUZ rural teachers’ union, or the president of the national students’ union ZINASU, Emmanuel Sitima, thus attacking all the country's labour organizations. The repressive escalation is such that Mnangagwa's dictatorship has even arrested leaders of the CCC opposition party, including a member of parliament (Timba) and more than 77 of its members who were in a meeting for Youth Day on June 16 (in commemoration of the 1976 Soweto youth uprising) and are also members of unions and student unions.
The working class of Zimbabwe saw in Kenya the way forward to confront the governments that starve the people and the plunder of the IMF and imperialism!
Open the road for the African working class!
Revolutionary general strike!
Unified workers' self-defense committees!
For committees of rank-and-file soldiers so that weapons pass into the hands of the working class and the poor people!
Disband all repressive forces!
For a revolutionary provisional government of workers and poor peasants!
For Black Workers' and Socialist Republics all across Southern Africa!
