THE recent events in Epworth are disturbing for any peace-loving Zimbabwean.
It was sad to read about the violent clashes that occurred recently between MDC-T and ZANU PF supporters after the rally held by Morgan Tsvangirai.
It is important that as Zimbabweans, despite our political differences, we uphold our values of maintaining peace at all times.
We must learn to respect each other and solve whatever differences amicably rather than resorting to violence.
Violence does not solve anything, it worsens the situation.
Our President has always been on the forefront calling for us all to desist from engaging in violent activities.
We are tarnishing our own image when we do such things.
It is my hope that we continue to maintain the peaceful environment we live in which is key in our development.
We should learn from countries such as Libya and Egypt that resorted to violence to solve issues, they did more harm than good.
Today they struggle to rebuild their countries and they have taken themselves back in as far as development is concerned.
We must all desist from violence.
