The Convention People’s Party, with much pleasure, congratulates President Robert Mugabe and the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF) for its resounding victory against the forces of settler colonialism and neo-colonialism in Zimbabwe, synthesized into the reactionary Movement for Democratic Change under the puppet Morgan Tsvangarai.

The People of Zimbabwe have spoken with a loud voice, and they have spoken for the continuation of the Chimuranga through the policies of Land Reform, Indigenization, Black Economic Empowerment, and anti-imperialism.

They have decided to continue to advance the great history of Mwanumutapa, to uphold the pride, dignity, integrity, and struggle of martyrs like Mbuya Nehanda, and to keep alive the national liberation struggle of freedom fighters like Kwame Nkrumah, Sekou Toure, Amilcar Cabral, Modibo Keita, Augustino Neto, Ben Bella, and Eduardo Mondlane.

President Robert Mugabe is a great freedom fighter and his example must be followed throughout the length and breadth of Africa. He has defeated the European settler colonial state of Rhodesia militarily and taken back the land for the indigenous people. He has engaged with the imperialists without betraying the interest of his people, demonstrating great intelligence.

He has consistently outmaneuvered the forces of neo-colonialism to continuously gain more control of the national resources for the people. He has consistently created policies based on the conditions in Zimbabwe, based on the experience and consciousness of the people, such as indigenization [51% minimum ownership of all banks, mines, factories and industries in Zimbabwe belonging to indigenous Zimbabweans by law[, which illustrates independence of thought.

He has led Zimbabwe to the highest literacy rate in all of Africa by prioritizing the education of the masses of the people [with over 90% of Zimbabweans being able to read and write]. He has supported other African states against neo-colonialism, such as the Congo, with Zimbabwean troops under Operation Sovereign Legitimacy and maintained support for the Libyan Socialist Jamahiriya while others were lining up for 30 pieces of silver.

He has prevented neo-colonialism from coming in through the back door by exposing the dependent and selfish nature of, and winning elections against their surrogate, the MDC. We in the CPP recognize Zimbabwe as the only liberated territory in Africa today [based on the criteria set by Kwame Nkrumah in his book Handbook of Revolutionary Warfare], free from the domination of neo-colonialism, and we are working hard to join you in the very near future.

We are learning lessons from your defeat over the MDC, and we must work together to defeat the MDC’s throughout Africa and replace them with party’s like Zanu-PF throughout Africa, to accelerate the movement for an African Union Government for control of Africa’s resources for its people.

We congratulate you again and seek to strengthen relations between our two parties as a step towards advancing the vision of our founder Kwame Nkrumah based on our ideology; Nkrumaism. We are confident that we find a solid comrade in Zanu-PF. Long live President Robert Mugabe! Long live Zanu-PF! Long live the CPP! Long live Nkrumaism! Long live African Unity! Death to imperialism!
