The United Fighting Committee of Zimbabwe travels to every city and region of Zimbabwe, organizing assemblies of workers, students and poor peasants

With assemblies of direct democracy...

The United Fighting Committees are setting up in every city, region and at national level

Open the road to the working class!
Open the road to the self-determination organizations of the exploited people!

This is how the fight in Markina was carried on and this is how we fight in Zimbabwe

Resolution voted by the meeting of Masvingo on October 18th, 2014

As we gather today here in Masvingo Province city of Anglo Platinum mine as United fighting committee, the workers in Zimbabwe suffer the same scarcity and outrages of the workers of the entire Africa and working class at world wide level.

IT IS TIME to stand up to fight for our job, our bread and life of our families. IT'S TIME to confront determinedly the imperialism that plunder our nations and with their governments kill, repress, and stave workers in the entire tormented Africa.

IT'S TIME to set up a workers' alternative independent from the bosses. Everyone that wants to fight like in Marikana, and wants to set up fighting organizations with direct democracy of the exploited, and conquer a salary according to the family basket with decent job for all must come to fight with us to
set up this platform of struggle of the workers against the slaver bosses, imperialism and its lackey government that represents them.

The ideal of this gathering is to set up a true National Congress of employed, unemployed workers, militant youth and poor peasants to fight together with the South African workers in order to win.

That's the only road map that leads us to unify the working class to prepare and organize what the workers of Zimbabwe and entire Southern Africa
need. A general strike to hit as a single fist against the exploiters, their governments and political parties.

We have to be organised just like the people of Marikana did and together as one fighting committee we can win.

Our demands are the same our region and the world working class fighting for: salary, decent job, and against the treason of all the leaders that speaking in the name of the unions and worker organizations only sell out workers to their executioners.

IT IS TIME to conquer and organize a big general strike. We need to stop the farms and the cities. Schools will be closed. Nothing will work in Zimbabwe. This way we will show that the workers are the ones that produce the wealth and make this country work, while a handful of parasites steals our effort and sacrifice, plunging us into misery.

Open the road for the working class!
Open the road for the students and the militant youth!
Open the road for the poor peasants!

Enough with the government of Mugabe and the boss politicians, agent of imperialism and the transnational companies!

Let's unite, regroup and have a powerful working  movement to defeat the government of Mugabe, MDC and ISO-Z who is currently working with the
government.

As we prepare ourselves for a general strike and working towards National Congress not in Zimbabwe only but entire Southern African countries. Let us unite our forces to confront the Anglo American and capitalism across the whole Africa.

Let us demand justice for our miner brothers killed in Marikana!
Let us demand justice for reckless shooting of Brown son in Ferguson.

For us to achieve all this we must organise in every City of this country to set up the local general strike, organizing committee of workers peasants and
stundents with roots in each factory workplace, school etc.

We must collaborate with the masses for them to set up organs for the struggle. As the fighting organizations of the masses are set up by the masses.

The general strike is a task that the masses should take as their own. The masses have to conquer it with assemblies in the farms, the cities, the schools
and universities and in the workplaces.

It is time we must set up a strike fund (committee) in which each union and organization make a contribution acording to the members they have. Starting with the Zctu and not to have paternalism.

As workers we have to set up our own fund to guarantee the movements. A strike fund, a bond for the strike are fundamental tasks to organize the general strike for a national congress.

This is the true power we must set up.

Masvingo, Zimbabwe
