Zimbabwe: Mozambicans Urged to Prepare for Polls

Harare — PEOPLE of Mozambican descent residing in Zimbabwe have been called up to have their documents in order so that they go and vote when Mozambique conducts presidential elections in October this year.

The president of the Mozambican Society in Zimbabwe, Esmeralda Massinga made the call yesterday in an interview after her society held celebrations on Saturday at the Mozambican Embassy in Harare to mark Mozambique's 34th independence anniversary.

"There are many Mozambicans who were born here and lots of them don't have documents.

"They are all Mozambicans and with the assistance of the Mozambican Embassy, are acquiring the necessary documents," she said.

Massinga said they formed the association after realising that there were so many people of Mozambican descent living in Zimbabwe and some of them had no proper documents.

"The reason is that there are so many Mozambicans living here in Zimbabwe sometimes it can be very difficult for the embassy to accommodate us of all.

"Although our National Day was there on Thursday, we decided to celebrate it through our effort and we asked the embassy to assist us," she said. Also present during the celebrations were Dr Vicente Veloso, the Mozambican Ambassador to Zimbabwe and several other officials from the French, Portuguese, Angolan and DRC embassies.

    Mass Murderer Joseph Stalin , Who Was Behind The Robbing And Murdering Of

    Millions Of Russians, Is Famous For The Following Quote :

    “ It’s Not Who Votes That Counts , It’s Who Counts The Votes “.

    Here’s Another Quote “ Take Precautions That No One Trick You “ - - [ Paraphrased From Matthew 24:4 / A Jesus Christ Quote ] –

    There Are Certain People That Society Tend To Drop Their Gurd On And

    Automatically Trust . Here Are Some Of Those People That We Tend To “ TURN A

    BLIND EYE TO “ : Politicians, Doctors, Lawyers, Religious Ministers,

    Close Relatives , Teachers, Sports Coaches, Celebrities , etc…

    GHANA And Other Countries Are Being Infiltrated By Wolves In Sheep’s Clothing .

    They Pose As One Thing , While They Are Actually Trying To Continue What The

    Portuguese Started Around The 1440s ; When They Took Some Gold Coast Residents To

    Portugal Starting African Slavery In Europe.

    This Electronic Voting Scheme Will Allow The Wicked To Control Who Gets

    Into Positions Of Power Where They Can Conduct The Movements Of Society

    Deceptively. America (Babylon) Has A Recent History Of Deception Using This

    Electronic Voting In A Wicked Way.

    There Are Two(2) Ways We Can Go With This Electronic Voting Situation :

    1) Allow Electronic Voting Where Every Person Who Votes Get’s A Time & Place

    Stamp Showing The Time & Location They Voted At , Also With The Voter’s Name &

    Address On It And A Complete Record Of Who They Voted For. In Effect Each Voter

    Would Receive A VOTER’S RECEIPT : Accounting For Every Detail Of Their Voting.

    A) The Citizens Themselves Would Voluntarily Count The Votes.. Persons Counting The Votes Would Not Get Paid. Also Different Persons Would Alternate In Counting The Votes. Their Names Would Be Drawn From A Pool Of Registered Voters ; Much Like Jury Duty Is Assigned. The Persons Selected Would Have To Agree To Volunteer Their Time. Some May Not Be Able To Accept Their Civic Duty At The Time. So Their Name Would Be Thrown Back Into The Available Pool Of Registered Citizens.

    2) Not Allowing Electronic Vote Counting. And Implementing The Alternating Citizens Vote Counting Scheme (Mentioned In Section 1-A Above).

    3) A Volunteer Watch Committee Of Citizens Would Give Quarterly Reports On Elected

    Officials . It Would Also Be Good To Establish Type Of Voting Regulations That :

    A) Allowed For Replacement Of Elected Officials Who Become Unsavory To The Masses Because Of Their Lack Of performance In Their Elected Office.

    B) Also A Law That Doesn’t Allow Politicians To Make A Career Out Of Public Service. If They Want To Spend Their Life Helping People, Their Ingenuity, With God’s Help, Will Direct Their Paths.

    C) Any Kind Of Political Office By Election Or Appointment Should Never Be Any Real Citizen’s Permanent Office. We All Should be Doing What God Made Us To Do ; Each Can Find Their Own Way.

    4) Citizens Must Become More Proactive And GIVE OUR RE – PRESENTATIVES

    AGENDAS TO PRESENT FOR US. Here’s How It Works :

    A) The Citizens PRESENT AGENDAS TO OUR ELECTED & APPOINTED OFFICIALS.

    B) Our ELECTED & APPOINTED OFFICIALS Re-PRESENT The Agendas Of The Citizens To The Other Elected & Appointed Representatives.

    C) What Happens When No Citizens Present Agendas To Elected & Appointed Officials ? Nothing Good. Our Representatives Are Often Approached By Lobbyists. Many Of These Lobbyists Are Paid By Special Interest Groups To Present Agendas Of Special Interest Groups To Them.

    D) Citizens Need To Have A Revolving Committee Of Volunteer Think Tanks & Lobbyists Who Will Take Turns Working On And Presenting The Citizens Agenda To Our Elected & Appointed Agendas.

    E) From A Christian Perspective , I Believe That The Spiritually Wicked Jailed In Hell Are Always Spiritually-Lobbying Those Who Are Deceived Among Man (Ephesians 6:12). So We Must Also Lobby God Our Mankind’s Behalf ; As Spirituall Lobbyists.

    AS JESUS CHRIST SAID SO OFTEN : WATCH AND PRAY !!!!!!!!

    OUR DEEPEST FEAR By Marianne Williamson

    Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate, Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure. It Is Our Light , Not Our Darkness That Most Frightens Us.

    We Ask Ourselves, Who Am I To Be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, And Fabulous ?

    Actually Who Are We Not To Be ? You Are A Child Of God.

    Your Playing Small Doesn’t Serve The World.

    There Is Nothing Enlightened About Shrinking So That Other People Won’t Feel Insecure Around You.

    We Are All Meant To Shine, As Children Do.

    We Were Born To Make Manifest The Glory Of God That Is Within Us.

    It’s Not Just In Some Of Us; It’s In Everyone.

    And When We Let Our Own Light Shine We Unconsciously Give Other People Permission To Do The Same.

    And As We Are Liberated From Our Own Fear, Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others

    [NOTE – BEING AFRAID AND REFUSING TO GET INVOLVED WON’T STOP US FROM DYING. BUT BEING AFRAID CAN PREVENT US FROM LIVING]

    (Nkosi Sikeleli Africa )

    God bless Africa May her glory be lifted high Hear our petitions .

    God bless us, Your children God we ask You to protect our nation Intervene and end all conflicts Protect us, protect our nation, our nation.

    From the blue of our heaven, From the depths of our sea, Over our eternal mountain ranges, Where the cliffs give answer.

    Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.

    [Enoch Mankayi Sontonga]

    WAKE UP ! STAY UP MY BROTHERS & SISTERS ! BE SELF-SUFFICIENT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
