But my home is there: MDC. However Iwould rather be homeless than attend an ideological school of a party whose ideology I oppose. The MDC is a social democratic party. That's not the ideology taught at the Zanu PF

It is unacceptable and treacherous for opposition councillors to subject themselves to indoctrination and ideological orientation by Zanu PF. Anyway, if it quakes like a duck, flies like a duck, lays eggs like a duck, and swims like a duck, then it is a duck.

Chief Fortune Zephania Charumbira reelected PAP President at an extraordinary session of the Pan African Parly held in Midrand, SA. After Zim went for elections there were attempts to remove him before he finished his term office. He will now serve for the 18 months to go.

Charity begins at home: The shadow cabinet of the MDC has more women than men. More women must assume positions of responsibility in this country.

The Zim dollar is on a free fall. By yesterday its shadow price on the street was 1:19. Demand drives supply and vice versa. Who is responsible? Why are forex vendors not arrested. They trade in broad day light. Our currency will continue debauched as long as the usd co-exist.

On a flight from Washington to Amsterdam, in June 2009 , i am seated next to Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai sipping whisky and discussing many subjects from politics , social to economics and suddenly he blurted; " If i had my way i would make you my successor in MDC , the fights in there will destroy my Party when am gone . We need a unifier . There are serious fights in there worse than in your Zanu PF " We laughed off this unimaginable prospect , with others in the Business Class cabin joining who had overheard this conversation. I later shared this with a number of top MDC officials , Nelson , Khupe , Job and we laughed it off for what it was ; a joke ! Many years later it has turned into reality , Zanu PF & its State Agencies has simply exploited a situation that has been simmering for years , so before pointing fingers at the external there is serious need for introspection by political actors in the Opposition formations on how they themselves have authored their own demise. The external simply exploits the internal fissures. That said, there is a silver lining to every dark cloud , an opportunity for fresh start politics only this time apart from populism it must be built not only on grievances but on solid vision and promise of an alternative Zimbabwe , home grown political enterprising that carries the hope and aspirations of all . The maturity required for this task can only come from the lessons learnt . Everyone has been bruised , but it is the people who feel a greater sense of betrayal of reposing their faith for more than two decades into something that has morphed into an octopus worse than the creature they were trying to replace.

Replying to @Chofamba
Amongst the people who remained in the @DMwonzora MDC A there's a group of genuine people who raised the same important issues of building strong institutions not personalities. A situation where a politician is more popular than the party is not healthy.

Reset, Restart, and Recover all. The MDC Harare Province had a serious strategic planning meeting at Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House in Harare on Saturday. The team is greatly motivated and raring to go.
