2] At the same time,how does the MDC-T maintain that the MDC-A as of 2018 was a 7 party's ALLIANCE,yet claim ownership over the political & financial capital of the whole ALLIANCE?
How much of the PPFA money will go to PDP, MDC-Ncube etc?
How many votes does each party have?
3] Its a matter of fact that the MDC-T "repossessed" HH without a court order, with the blessing of the security sector
Now, the MDC-T has received MDC-ALLIANCE money against a court order!
The unholy ALLIANCE between ZanuPF & MDC-T is no longer propaganda
It's crystal clear!
4] You can't claim to be the official opposition yet the ruling party, which you should be otherwise be a threat to, is more than willing to break the law for you.
You can't be a threat to ZanuPF yet ZBC TV follows you everywhere.
There is a clear logic to this MDC-T madness!
5] You can't claim to be the MDC of 1999 & the one that had 2 million voters, yet ZanuPF continues to attack a grieving man & links his "nonexistent" party to the Ngaribvume planned #ZanuPFMustGo#July31stDemo
By its conduct, ZanuPF continues showing which MDC is the MDC!
6] You can't claim to be in charge of 100+ MPs yet you've recalled 20+ with 50+ approaching the courts in denial of your supposed Leadership.
You can't claim Leadership over MPs who only fear recalls.
What does this say about them?
What does this say about YOU?
7] You can't claim to be the authentic Opposition yet all your press conferences have said nothing about ZanuPF nor the general plight of Zimbabweans.
You can't be an Opposition to the locally and internationally recognized Opposition party and its Leader(ship)
It's pathetic!
8] So really, come #July31stDemo, a lot of things must go.
This hypocrisy should equally fall.
Now, the unsurprising claims that Dr Khupe is trying to engage Chamisa regarding her Mwonzora fights should be looked at strategically
No emotions.
Politics demands critical thinking
9] Now that its clear as to who is who, MDC-ALLIANCE supporters & those yearning for democracy should fund & offer strategic support to the MDC-ALLIANCE.
The struggle needs sacrifice.
& the "apolitical" efforts of #July31 shouldn't be divorced from the shenanigans of #July2018
10] The immediate task,post ZanuPF is taking Zimbabwe back to constitutionalism
Any elitist arrangement with no constitutional foundation can only be accepted as an interim mechanism towards a free & fair election least we find ourselves with another fake dispensation.
enkosi!

1. Admittedly, when I first read the "structured currency" headline, I thought the Harare regime was taking its "structures" propaganda too far.
With the benefit of more research on the topic, I'm now totally convinced the Harare regime is indeed taking its propaganda too far.
2. By definition, a structured currency is "structured" in that it's supposedly backed by both mineral reserves (in our case gold) and trust in government's monetory policies & regulations.
Unfortunately, no one believes any of the two are present in our existing circumstances.
3. Part of why all previous gimmicks have failed is a trust deficit.
Even if the government opts to accuse commentators of being alarmists, causing panick and despondency, no one can be faulted for rushing to withdraw their forex savings if we have learned anything from history.
1. Imagine trying to make sense of how some 4 gentlemen in Bulawayo can randomly claim, 'we have recalled Amos Chibaya, he has ceased being a member of CCC'.
Outside the influence of social media, many only know about #CCC because of the efforts of this indefatigable organizer.
2. Propaganda has to make some sort of sense.
Even where some decide to hide behind the claim of "a traceable history in the struggle," Chibaya would make the mark.
A devoted organizer during the times of Tsvangirai & even more so, during the times of Chamisa under the MDC-A.
3. For the successive elections between 2018-2023, it's a mystery how Chibaya found the passion to abandon the comfort of his home and the herculean energy to traverse the country, organizing the Opp for electoral triumph.
Chibaya is very much unheralded & doesn't seem to care.
1. So, a group of at least 25 individuals have decided to join nonexistent forces under the otherwise much heralded #NERA banner to push for electoral reforms.
It's difficult to even identify them as political leaders because they don't represent any political constituency.
2. If you review the outcome of the controversial 2023 election, these people combined had fewer votes than the Councilors who won your ward election.
Many of them have never even bothered to field candidates in successive elections but only pop up whenever they sense a need.
3. If you were to profile them, there is one Lucia Matibenga, masquerading as PDP President.
Her "party" never contests.
She only temporarily enjoyed limelight under PDP when Sen Mwonzora brought her as his MDC-A partner before they connived to recall MPs elected under Chamisa.
1. Interesting comment on this unfolding drama by Prof Ncube.
I, however, can't help recognize the continued conflation of politics & law, which I've previously written about, regarding the formation of CCC party from MDC-A.
It's quite strange that BaNcube does the same here.
2. I take notice of @Welshman_Ncube choice of words here.
He says: MDC-A party's "...National Council resolved to reconstitute itself as CCC..."
By definition, when you "reconstitute," you simply restore or build up again, using remaining parts of whatever has been destroyed.
@Welshman_Ncube 3. However, it was a legal nulity not only for MDC-A to 'reconstitute' itself but to even meet & make legally binding resolutions to begin with.
In 2020, Justice Chitapi ruled that the MDC-A party wasn't a legal persona, effectively meaning it wasn't a legally constituted party.
1. We need to accept that we've seen enough to conclude we've no justice system in Zimbabwe.
Perhaps it's time to totally (temporarily) abandon seeking judicial recourse, particularly around political issues
Why continue subjecting ourselves to the wig wearing ZanuPF activists!
2. Let me rationalize this personal view:
Firstly, we are simply patronizing the generality of the citizens by arguing that going to these "captured courts" is an important academic exercise that exposes judicial capture.
What has been the consequence of exposing this capture?
3. ZanuPF's reaction to the damning SADC Observer Mission report is evidence enough that they don't react to "embarrassment" by showing restraint.
ZanuPF chose rather to burn SADC through an unprecedented propaganda offensive and direct confrontation with the Zambia government.
