In any serious democratic tradition, political leadership is strengthened—not weakened—by scrutiny. We are failed state for lack of it! W Mukori

“ Zimbabwe yakazara madofo!”

Man is supposed to be a creature of reason but when one keeps repeating the foolishness of participating in flawed elections to perpetuate the Zanu PF dictatorship and their own suffering for 46 years and counting then you know you really are dealing with a creature of a lesser God!

@ Dr Sibangilizwe Moyo

In any serious democratic tradition, political leadership is strengthened—not weakened—by scrutiny. Yet, in contemporary Zimbabwean opposition politics, criticism has increasingly been recast as betrayal, enquiry as hostility, and analysis as malice.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the reaction to those who seek to interrogate Nelson Chamisa’s attempted return to the political arena.

Those who have genuinely sought to understand the rationale, timing, and strategic coherence of Chamisa’s re-entry into Zimbabwean politics have often been met not with reasoned counter-argument but with abuse and ridicule from self-proclaimed supporters.

This defensive posture is both surprising and deeply troubling. It reflects not confident…

If the truth be said Zimbabwe has never had this “serious democratic tradition”. We have always preferred the easy life, go along to get along and, better still if you cannot beat them joint them. This has now been hard wired into our political culture it is hard to uproot!
