Former Harare Mayor, Bernard Manyenyeni said Zimbabwe’s opposition has lost its founding values and now needs to deal with credibility as well as capacity issues hounding it.
Manyenyeni lamented a leadership crisis bedevilling Zimbabwe 39 years after majority rule. Posting onto Facebook using his official account, the former mayor argued:
Us in the opposition have credibility and capacity doubts to clear – having long lost our factory settings.
Manyanyeni also said that the Movement for Democratic Party needed to act like a real government-in-waiting.
He also noted that professionals and technocrats are neglecting their duty of rescuing the country from its woes. Manyenyeni said:
The professionals and technocrats are arm-chair compatriots. Those who are NEEDED to serve simply leave it to those who are in it for NEED.
National one-ness and cohesion remain elusive (and) partisan politics remains the only game in town. We are in perpetual election mode- very destructive.
Manyenyeni also said that Zimbabwe remains clueless 39 years after independence due to the leadership crisis in both the ruling and opposition parties.
