It never rains for Joice Mujuru

-

EDITOR — Word is Joice Mujuru is facing a fresh obstacle in her attempt to rename her party.

Mujuru announced at a Press conference in Harare last week that she was naming her party the National People’s Party (NPP).

This was to differenti­ate her brand from the one she lost to the elders of her party in a firing mission gone wrong.

However, there are indication­s that there is another party in existence with that name.

There is a group reportedly calling Mujuru out for hijacking a name they have been known by since 1994.

Mujuru’s failure to find an original name for her “political party” proves lack of intelligen­ce and the absence of intellectu­al depth.

No wonder Zanu-PF got rid of her, she was fast becoming a liability to the revolution­ary party with her divisive tendencies and ineptitude. She needs to be serious for once. There are a lot of considerat­ions and inquiries involved in making big party decisions. It seems she is getting ideas from an excited Jealousy Mawarire who is desperate to cease being seen as a political novice, something he still is.

If this party name is registered with ZEC then Mrs Mujuru should change her party’s name rather than fight over a party name.

If there is proof that there is actually an active party in the country and that its leadership is resident in the country then she needs to get a new name.

If she can’t even come up with a new name, what hope is there that Mujuru has ideas that benefit the general populace in Zimbabwe? People should not hold their breath for a coalition of parties like Mujuru’s.

Like the President rightly said, an aggregatio­n of zeros still gives a zero. Mutsa Muchadura, Harare.
