Deep-rooted understanding of revolutionary politics, depth of character and organisational strength, coupled with many tangible projects delivered so far, will certainly anchor Zanu PF’s victory in the 2023 elections.
While the main opposition CCC is redundant and struggling to keep itself afloat, let alone organise anything meaningful, Zanu PF has in the past five years, regenerated itself and morphed into a highly-organised and oiled political machine.
As we speak, all of Zanu PF’s cylinders are firing and the wheels are pulling in the same direction. The party is also fluid and you can see its presence all over.
From re-organising cell structures, District Coordinating Committees (DCCs) to the holding of primary elections up to the Nomination Court, everything has been smooth sailing and structured.
The current Zanu PF’s depth of character should make even its detractors in US and Western Europe green with envy.
The great revolutionary party’s trailblazing plinth from primary elections to ideological orientation of winning candidates up to the Nomination Court and campaign launch is incomparable. Nowhere in recent years have we seen such proficiency in the ruling party.
In Government, the ruling party has come up with developmental projects which it has amazingly delivered. Suffice to say some of the projects have already been delivered to completion while others are still in the process.
Landmark projects such as the rehabilitation of the Harare-Masvingo-Beitbridge Highway, the multifarious array of dams, the Gwayi-Shangani water project, an array of resuscitated irrigation schemes, health facilities and schools built under devolution funds all speak to the good work.
Back in my village, elders with cotton tuft hair say courage is equal to distance: you can tell how the opposition is suddenly looking for excuses to discredit the election they know they are losing. CCC is quacking in its boots.
So, in the village, five years seem a long period as night after night gives way to day after day in a continuous ancient routine of life and CCC leader Nelson Chamisa, never seemed to have realised that time was ticking away.
Since the last election in 2018, our brothers and sisters in the opposition did not seem to see days turn into weeks, weeks into moons and moons into years and today, they want to pretend the election date has just been dropped before them.
Since the announcement of the election date, CCC in particular has been clutching at straws and is in sixes and sevens, looking for 51 reasons to discredit the elections because they are just not ready for elections.
The fallacy in CCC is that everything wrong is blamed on Zanu PF. It is brazen crass. They blame Zanu PF for creating a dictator in Nelson Chamisa who is not a fan of constitutionalism by an iota of imagination, hence there was no congress for the party.
They blame Zanu PF for not having a constitution. They blame Zanu PF for failing to field candidates in 76 wards. They blame Zanu PF for double candidature.
All this is a precursor to losing an election. And, they are sure they will lose.
Chamisa, for whatever reasons, tried to invent the political wheel with an experiment that has backfired big time.
Departing from the norm of primary election has proved to be his biggest undoing. It created a big dictator in him and exposed him as a ruthless and treacherous politician, who can sacrifice all and sundry for selfish political gain.
By the closing of the nomination court, it turned out that Chamisa snookered himself after fooling himself that he could snooker Zanu PF.
The worst thing that has happened to the opposition is the failure to understand that Zanu PF is defending the real values and ethos of the liberation struggle, while the opposition is still stuck in the US and its Western allies’ paranoia to promote neo-colonialism.
Depending politically and financially on crude characters like Joe Biden and his corrupt administration has not helped the opposition.
It is easy to explain the CCC’s paranoia with the US and its allies because they all play crooked politics. They don’t believe they are their own crafters of their failure and blame others, totally.
The same way the US blames China and Russia for everything wrong in their country is the same way CCC blames Zanu PF for all its failures.
Instead of accepting mistakes and correcting them, the CCC, US and their allies still do the blame game.
Zanu PF under President Mnangagwa has managed to turn around the agriculture sector with record wheat and maize production. What has Chamisa done with his CCC, nothing but building his profile as a dictator of great magnitude.
While President Mnangagwa has decentralised power and structured both Government and party to deliver to the nation, Chamisa has synchronised power and grown into a dictator who is the party itself, the congress itself and indeed the constitution itself.
Chamisa is the most modern despot.
Chamisa’s party has no structures, has no constitution. He is everything. It is shameful to have such characters in modern politics.
Zanu PF will certainly leverage on its depth of character, organisational strength and experience to win the election big time.
Everything is now cast and a Zanu PF victory is certain.
