*FULL TEXT: 'MDC Congress Preps Going On Well'* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?hh > When you intend to look into the graves of our icons, make sure you stand in the right cemetery > The MDC informs the public and members of the press that Congress processes are going on. > There are district Congresses which are ongoing in respect of which open competition is taking place and will continue to take place. > There is nothing strange about it, whenever there is more than one candidate teams handling the processes are conducting elections. > It is democracy. > The President was on record at his last press conference that no leader or member must be attacked whether in public or private for his or her intention to contest a position. > We promised Zimbabweans that the MDC Congress will be a festival of democracy and ideas – that will not change. > The MDC will not at any point criminalise open contest, neither will the party use unconfirmed reports to characterise the ongoing processes. > All senior leaders are expected to inspire tolerance not incite hate including in the media. > We have seen how a single reckless statement has resulted in deaths in South Africa. > Procedures have been laid out, which are meant to give everyone an equal opportunity to contest in positions of choice. > Once Provincial Congresses are complete and individuals are nominated they can campaign freely. > In the meantime, the leadership of the party will follow closely, receive reports of any anomalies in the processes, review them and provide the right redress. > The party will also investigate any reports of violence and punish zealots proportionate to the offence in line with party statutes. > There is nothing in this process which is beyond the institutional capacity to handle. > Nothing deserves disturbing the rest of our departed icons. > If anyone wants to look into the graves of our past leaders, they must make sure they are standing on the right cemetery. *MDC: Defining a New Course for Zimbabwe!* *Jacob Mafume MDC National Spokesperson* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
