Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula must resign!
The United Democratic Movement Women’s Organisation (UDEMWO) is totally dismayed at how Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula decided to use a South African Air-Force jet to transport African National Congress members to Zimbabwe. The ruling party is so used to abuse state resources, that are paid by the hard-earned money of taxpayers, this mind set is not helping the country to go forward nor our crummy economy. UDEMWO calls on the Minister of Defence Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula to resign with immediate effect clearly she is not interested in her job and has no respect for the taxpayers, which is why she takes such irrational decisions. It is high time that the ANC start drawing a line between the state and their organisation, the abuse of state resources has to come to an end. Since when state assets are to be used to give lifts? Nosiviwe Mapisa Nqakula’s attitude is disgusting! This is unacceptable and as UDEMWO we won’t allow it to happen under our watch. Issued by: Ms Thandi Nontenja UDEMWO Secretary General

SADC must intervene in Zimbabwe
Part of the Southern African Development Community’s (SADC) common agenda is the consolidation and maintenance of democracy, peace and security in the region. The protests, abductions of government critics and the prevailing rhetoric are exacerbating instability in Zimbabwe and its neighbouring countries continue to be affected as Zimbabweans keep on fleeing their country in search of safety and relief from their economic circumstances. As matters stand, the United Democratic Movement (UDM) calls on SADC to intervene and assist Zimbabweans to find a solution to the crisis that is intensifying in their country. In addition, we call on all political leaders in Zimbabwe, who have a responsibility to deescalate the tensions before matters go beyond finding a peaceable solution, to act in a sober manner. There is also no place for intractable stances, and they must be willing to find solutions amongst them all and to act in the best interest of their country and her people. There have also been continued reports of attacks on Zimbabweans, who have fled to neighbouring countries as tensions caused by the scarcity of resources in those countries escalate. The UDM calls for tolerance amongst Africans, especially in these challenging times where we all face the Coronavirus pandemic. Issued by: Mr Bantu Holomisa, MP UDM President
