Former Zengeza West legislator and legal representative for the Ali family, Job Sikhala, is advocating for a non-partisan approach at the burial of slain Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) activist Moreblessing Ali. The burial is scheduled to take place at Zororo Gardens in Chitungwiza on Saturday.
Sikhala took to Twitter to emphasize the need for a non-political atmosphere at Moreblessing’s funeral, in alignment with the wishes of the Ali family. He discouraged the wearing of party regalia, specifically mentioning the colors yellow and blue, commonly associated with political parties in Zimbabwe. His message was clear: “lets just come and do it in a non-partisan manner.”
The tragic passing of Moreblessing Ali was a result of her activism, as she was murdered by a Zanu PF activist named Pius Jamba, who has since been convicted and sentenced. Moreblessing was known for her strong dedication to the CCC, particularly in the Manyame area of Chitungwiza.
In light of the circumstances surrounding Moreblessing’s death, Sikhala’s call for a non-partisan burial serves as a reminder of the importance of unity and respect during times of mourning. It is a way to honor Moreblessing’s memory without allowing political divisions to overshadow the somber occasion.
The plea for a non-partisan approach reflects a desire to focus on the life and contributions of Moreblessing, rather than political affiliations. It is a chance for the community to come together in solidarity and support for the Ali family, as they lay their loved one to rest.
As preparations are made for Moreblessing’s burial at Zororo Gardens, the hope is that people will heed Sikhala’s call for unity and restraint from any political displays. The focus should be on paying tribute to Moreblessing’s activism and the impact she had on those around her.
The tragic circumstances of Moreblessing Ali’s passing are a stark reminder of the dangers faced by activists in Zimbabwe. Her commitment to the CCC and her community should be honored in a manner that reflects unity and respect, rather than political discord.
In the midst of grief and loss, coming together in a non-partisan way can provide comfort and solace to those mourning the loss of Moreblessing. It is a chance to show support for the Ali family and to remember the life and legacy of a passionate and dedicated activist.
Ultimately, Job Sikhala’s appeal for a non-partisan burial for Moreblessing Ali is a call for compassion, understanding, and unity in the face of tragedy. It is a reminder that in times of grief, political differences should be set aside in order to focus on what truly matters – honoring the life of a beloved individual.
