CIOs are crawling all over MDC A structures

By Mpedzegwa Wamanava

The exiled firebrand political scientist, Jonathan Moyo has rubbished MDC A’s Nelson Chamisa as a spineless leader without capacity to take Zanu PF head on.

Writing on his twitter account in response to Glen Sungano Mpani who dismissed Chamisa as disorganized, intolerant, and immature, Moyo said political parties were withering away leaving space to nascent coalitions.

Moyo was responding to Mpani’s lamentation over Zanu PF and MDC A’s lack of political viability

“Reality is growing number of Zimbabweans genuinely seeking change want out /can’t join ZANU PF for obvious reasons. The same people find MDC Chamisa disorganized, intolerant, immature & not strategic in its politics. They are aware it’s suicide to be independent or form a party,” said Mpani.

Answered back Moyo: “Although your observation is based on the state of political parties, from a critical unpacking of the prevailing balance of forces in Zimbabwe and in the region; the writing is on the wall that political parties are withering away, and nascent coalitions are replacing them.”

The straight-talking Moyo dismissed all political parties in Zimbabwe including Zanu PF and MDC A as lacking a discernible and coherent ideology or policy programme which is commensurate with the demands of the moment!

The Kenya based professor, said Zanu PF was only limited to politburo and Central Committee meetings adding that its ubiquity was long gone.

“Outside politburo or central committee meetings, there isn’t much of Zanu PF politics. Hence Mnangagwa does politics more with Passion Java than with Commissar, Patrick Chinamasa,” said Moyo in one of his hard hitting 24 paragraphs.

Turning to MDC A, Moyo described the Machinjas as spineless and missing in action

“While Zanu PF is missing in action as a political party, the MDC in all its suffixes is not faring any better; as it too is missing in action; not taking advantage of Zanu PF’s manifest slumber, because it is too preoccupied with its self-destruction triggered by @DMwonzora,” charged Moyo.

The former Zanu PF Information maintained that the public were shocked and disappointed by MDC’s lack of any response to the seizure of Harvest House and recalling of their MPs and councillors.

“The public has been shocked, disappointed and dispirited by the MDC-A’s lack of any response to the recalls of its MPs and Councillors and the seizure of its headquarters and Parliamentary funds. All the MDC-A has been able to do is to keep turning the other cheek,” said Moyo in his brutal frank posts. He continued: “An opposition political party that wants to be taken seriously, as a government in waiting, has a duty to itself; to show not just capacity but also some fighting spirit & spine, against all odds; so far the MDC-A has shown none. Where it has OPPOSED, it has not PROPOSED.”

Without mincing his words, Moyo described MDC-A as a target of heavy infiltration from its inception. “To say the MDC-A is the most infiltrated party in Zimbabwe today would be the understatement of the century,” revealed Moyo

The motor mouthed Jonso scoffed at Chamisa for failing to grow his support base in Mashonaland after eating into Zanu PF’s support base in the 2018 elections.

He also dismissed MDC A as Harare-centric ignoring outskirts where Zanu PF is more vulnerable.

“Zanu PF, as the military & the State in general, is strongest in Harare but is exposed and very vulnerable in the outskirts and around Zimbabwe,” pointed out Moyo

Moyo said MDC A was like a bright but delinquent undergraduate who fails to graduate due to incomplete assignments.

“MDC-A often comes up with great ideas, like Citizens Convergence for Change & Cleanup Campaign, which end up only as bad photo ops, and fail like a bright but delinquent undergraduate who fails to graduate due to incomplete assignments,” said Moyo.

The former Education Minister said MDC A’s dwindling financial resources were further crippling operations of a party which is at its weakest point since formation.
