President Mnangagwa a forward thinker

-

EDITOR. — The President and Zanu-PF’s First Secretary, Cde Emmerson Mnangagwa recently told his party’s top leadership to start preparing for elections which should be held in a few months.

This is a sign of forward-thinking which other political parties lack as they are caught in a festival of jostling for positions.

When opposition parties are walloped in the forthcomin­g polls, they will run to their financiers in the West with false sob stories of electoral irregulari­ties when they know fully that their biggest undoing is lack of preparatio­n.

It wouldn’t be easy to prepare for some of these parties because of the rampant disharmony, mudslingin­g and back-biting.

The worst is in MDC-T now that their president Morgan Tsvangirai passed on.

If Zanu-PF can continue singing the same tune, there is no way they will lose in the hands of an out-of-sorts opposition which resembles a royal rumble wrestling to grab positions.

Zanu-PF National Political Commissar, Lt Gen Engelbert Rugebe(Rtd) did a good thing by announcing that primary election will be held soon.

Some other parties and alliance will be selected people in an arbitrary manner which is a recipe for phenomenal disaster.

We wait and see, but the odds are strongly in favour of Zanu-PF this forthcomin­g election.
