“Ngoba iDisability Caucus izancedisa ukuthi kube le-focus kumbe sithi kube lombono kundaba zeDisability kumbe endabeni zeDisability lapha eZimbabwe. I-Disability Caucus ngokwayo sikhangelele ukuthi bazaba yibo ama-Members of Parliament abazakhuluma ngendaba yeDisability kumbe abazaba ngama-champions kundaba zeDisability nxa sezikhulunywa ephalamende kumbe nxa sekuxoxisanwa ngazo ephalamende.”

“Into esingathi iyasithabisa kuDisability Caucus le ngeyokuthi ihlangane ama-MPs abale-disability lama-MPs abangelayo i-disability, bonke bahalanganiswa kumbe babuthaniswa ngenjongo eyokuthi indaba zeDisability zikhulunywe, kuxoxwe ngazo ku-Parliament njalo kube lokungaphuma ephalamende.”

“Kuzosisiza ukuthi sikhankasele ukuba khona kweDisability Quota ngoba siyayifuna leyo Quota ephalamende. Ngakho siyajabula ukuthi indaba zokukhubazeka zizolalelwa ngenxa ye-Disability Caucus yabakhubazekile.”
Uyakuthakazelela lokhu uMnu. Bekezela Mpala laye okunhlanganiso yeDisability Voices in Zimbabwe.
“Sithabile kakhulu, kuyatshengisela ukuthi abantu abale-disability, ama-requests ethu azakhangelwa kuParliament kube lama-solutions.”

“Ku 9th Parliament, iCaucus le ibeincediswa ngama-private players, amaDonors labanye kodwa khathesi i-parliament yiyo esithethe umlandu ifake uCommittee Clerk, ibhadale i-staff njalo ibe ibona ukuthi iDisability Caucus leyi izabe isebenza njani. Sikubona kuyindlela eyinkalakatha yokuthi yi-best practice lapha eAfrica ukuthi kube leDisability Caucus enjalo incedisana lephalamende ukuthi ibe icubungula imithetho ukuthi ibe disability inclusive. Yikho sisithi, hayi siyakubona, sithemba ukuthi kuzadlula kube ku-implimentation kuhambe kuyofika not ukuthi kuphelele khonapho. So yiso isifiso sethu njengabantu abakhubazekileyo.”
