Opposition parties in the National Assembly on Tuesday said the country had little or nothing to celebrate nearly three decades into democracy.
“We reaffirm our commitment to the constitution. We did not envisage a country with corruption, gender-based violence, theft, crime. Let us all unite to defend the gains of our democracy by fighting the scourge of corruption and gender-based violence.”
“Political freedom is meaningless without economic freedom because our people are not going to eat voting rights. They need bread and homes, they need quality education, they need land on which they can grow their own food. The FF Plus’s Heloise Denner said there had been little to celebrate as millions of people continue to be trapped in a “hopeless cycle of unemployment”.
