The Labour with the IMF's approval, pretends that cuts in services are needed to provide money for investment in industry. But the problem is not shortage of money, but the fact that the capitalists will not invest until workers' wages are driven even lower. 'Confidence' they call it.
Well they can be 'confident' that Labour is doing its very best to meet their requirements. But they are inhibited by the fact that trade union movement is not on its knees despite the best efforts of the TUC leaders. He saw a terrorist He made a report ...and he was well rewarded SCOVE O along.
NOW — one person one vote! Free all political prisoners! Disband the constitutional conference on the future of Zimbabwe has backed down before British demands over the date of independence.
Its leaders, Nkomo and Mugabe, have sold out all along the line. It was a sell-out to sit down with the racist Smith regime. It was a propose a 12 month independence timetable. It is a sell-out now to agree to a fifteen month 'transitional' period.
There is little doubt that Nkomo, the man who sat in a railway carriage with lan Smith at the Victoria Falls talks, wanted to surrender sooner. The drawback was that Robert Mugabe relies on a base among the ZIPA guerillas to justify his presence at the conference. He was faced with an insoluble problem. How could he stay at the conference and retain some support among the freedom fighters, who were already unhappy about his presence there?
ARMED REBELLION
The answer is that he couldn't. Already there has been an armed rebellion of ZIPA guerillas in camps in Mozambique against the Mugabe sell-out. Mugabe has some things going for him. He has the backing of the 'front line states', and now he has reached agreement with British imperialism.. but he can't count on the support of the Zimbabwean people themselves.
Bishop Muzorewa and Reverend Sithole, the other two nationalist leaders at the conference, have attempted to capitalise on this betrayal. Muzorewa is worried about a leader 'imposed" by Britain (unless it's himself). Sithole has been trying to stir things in Mozambique, asking the government for armed protection to visit the rebel guerilla camps. The government told him that if he was so popular, why did he need protection. Sithole decided to cancel his visit.
MEN OF THE CLOTH These two men of the cloth can only preach on the text of advancing their political careers. They no more have a message for the people of Zimbabwe than Nkomo and Mugabe.
The British Labour Government has been implicated in the shady dealings at Geneva all They have no more right to be in Zimbabwe than the illegal' Smith Government.
