MDC-T senior official Job Sikhala says he has been asked by numerous members of his party to approach former MDC senior member David Coltart asking him to come and work with the MDC-T considering his selflessness and resilience to fight for democracy.
He described Coltart as a selfless leader who must be respected for what he is.
“I have been asked by quite a number of our cadres of our party why we are not persuading David Coltart to come back and work with others for the common good of our country,” Sikhala posted. “Some of those who are keen to work with David Coltart know Coltart’s solid history for fighting for a free and democratic Zimbabwe. They know David as a young lawyer fighting and defending Joshua Nkomo when his party was under a genocidal attack from Mugabe’s regime.”
Sikhala posted that Coltart was the first with the Legal Resource Foundation together with Mike Auret and the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace to unravel the Matabeleland genocide through a thorough research that produced Breaking the Silence, an episode of a genocide that was committed in Matabeleland.
” People know that David is a selfless leader who loves Zimbabwe so much,” he said. “He was one of the best Ministers in the inclusive government. He rejected the aura and love for the luxuries of a Mercedes Benz during his tenure as a Minister in our country. He is a man of sober temperament. Zimbabweans love him. He is a straight forward character.”
Sikhala said “when you colleagues inquire from me why we are failing to persuade him to work together with him.
“My answer is simple. He knows we love him. He knows it is an honour to work with him. He knows his responsibility that Zimbabweans needs us together now than any other time. He is no fool. He knows what the people wants!!!!!” he said.
