1] a #PeoplesThread
I give a summary of the critical points raised by Dr. Magaisa on how the @mdczimbabwe can push for "reforms", by being more inward looking, in terms of how the party can prepare itself for a fight against ZanuPF, as well as generally improving its operations.

2] a. Understanding its support base
Dr. Magaisa classifies party support as follows:
i. Vietnam/Soweto Section- diehard
ii. Moderate
iii. Floaters
The critical thing is understanding these types of supporters and how they can be kept involved & interested in party activities.

3] b. Party Structures
The split with the Mwonzora faction can not be treated as a non-event.
The organizing depart has to run a gap filling exercise as well as, mobilizing, restructuring & energizing party structures.
The restructuring exercise should also target rural areas.

5] d. Candidates
No imposition of candidates, but direct election through party primaries.
{Interestingly, the core MDC-T leadership has mostly PR MPs & Senators who lost MDC-A primary elections (Mudzuri, Chebundo) or those who chickened out altogether (Mwonzora, Komichi etc)}

9] Party Name
Being decisive and investing more thought and resources on the issues of:
i. the party name
ii. party constitution
The MDC-T and ZanuPF will not relent on efforts to strip @mdczimbabwe of its identity.
The @mdczimbabwe better prepare than wait to be hit first.
