1] Come on Prof, MDC-N is "alive and well" as led by who?

How can a party with an entire Leadership, whose Congress mandate expired in 2011 be alive, let alone well?

A faction of MDC-N is being reconfigured by the ZanuPF variant, MDC-T, for their new look-old MDC-ALLIANCE!
2] Truth is, some disgruntled elements of the old MDC-N are now aligning themselves with those members of a disgruntled MDC-T faction housed at MRT House.

Prof Ncube & his allies occupy positions in the MDC-A party.

The confusion only exists in the minds of those creating it. ImageImage
3] Since time immemorial, chaps representing defunct parties always show up.

After Sikhala reunited with MRT,some guy made himself Acting Pres, pretending as if MDC-99 was still in existence.

Some guy representing a defunct UMD party also showed up.

This stunt isn't new at all ImageImage
4] Leaders of all parties that formed the MDC-A publicly distanced themselves from the SC judgement.

How & why would they recognize it now?

That Kurupati character clarifies this issues here.

Their party dissolved & their Leader is MDC-A VP.

Who is their new leader now? Image
5] The proponents of this development are angling for an association with MDC-T.

Someone is desperately trying to recreate the 2017 MDC-A Coalition in his own image & so has far roped in Matibenga

Soon we shall hear Prof N has been fired & there is a new MDC-N Acting President. Image

1] Perhaps the actual problem isn't with those you enjoy grouping & patronizing.

Perhaps you're the one failing to come to grips with the reality that social media isn't a church were someone gets to play Senior Prophet.

Here we are equal & every narrative will be challenged. Image
2] To those who have become fatigued and/or disillusioned with the trajectory the movement has/is taking, we have no option but to find each other.

Lets focus on FIXING the change vehicle opposed to needlessly exchanging blows.

The agenda remains winning Zimbabwe for change. Image
3] To the intellectuals, any narrative that equalizes ZanuPF & MDC-A is bar talk.

It will be ferociously resisted & mercilessly attacked.

Any "intellect" that fails to recognize the "weapons of the weak", is itself nonexistent.

The weak will always find ways of fighting back. Image

1] Sadly, what's missing in our politics is the identification of our individual contributions.

We fixate on critiquing the omissions & commissions of others.

Granted that the bus ultimately stops with the Leaders, but what about you and me?

Its sadly easier to point fingers.
2] Tragically, some among us are only bothered by the capture of Leaders, only because they themselves failed to capture the same leaders.

Some become frustrated by their failure to direct or influence decisions.
They forget, it's not only them whispering to the same Leader(s).
3] Some, spectacularly camouflaged their real frustrations, & misrepresent them as an agenda for the greater good.

But the tragedy is that, like a snowball, they attract more "frustrated" citizens, sadly completely oblivious to the real source of their anger & frustrations.

1] Interesting development.

But predictably, MDC-PF social media foot soldiers will dismiss this as they struggle to come to terms with what has just transpired.

Regardless of how one seems this, it's a very important development.

I'll tweet why, towards the end.
2] Up until now, noone knows the ALLIANCE partners who are being represented by this communique.

MDC-PF guys would then think, if the likes of Biti & Ncube & Ngarivume are part of this decision, then its tantamount to un-scrambling the egg, & that MDC-A isn't a party after all.
3] What this narrative conveniently ignores, is that its actually the Supreme Court judgement that unscrambled this egg.

Dougie et al, jumped at this development.
If the MDC-T went back to 2014, it can't be earth shaking, that the ALLIANCE people have gone back to 2017.

Yes?

1] This is what some of us mean when we say Baba Bertha has no mandate.

In his own words, he wants to dialogue with ED for electoral reforms so that there won't a repeat of the previous electoral disputes like that of 2018 "...which our colleagues (MDC-A) are complaining about" Image
2] In other words, Baba Bertha wants to dialogue on behalf of another party, which has a clear electoral mandate, and ability to represent itself, its supporters, & its voters.

In the same vein, Baba Bertha exposes his lacks the courage, in admitting the rigging of 2018.
3] Instead of simply saying electoral reforms will put to an end rigging & electoral disputes, DM makes it a "MDC-A" issue.

Yet at the same time, he & his ilk, want to claim the electoral performance of the same MDC-A.
They conveniently want to be it, only when its preferable.

1] Dear @NockstheGreat & @TogaraseyiLaw, you asked that I share thoughts on the MDC-A name fight.

I doubt there is anything new that can be said on the topic.
Almost all scenarios have been explained by better minds, especially Dr AM, & I do associate myself with his thoughts.
2] As a bit of context, to me, the MDC-A long became a party, which initially, just like the MDC-T, had both a party & electoral name.

You would realise that now MDC-T calls itself both that, & simply MDC.
Looking at older tweets, MDC-A also called itself both that, & just MDC.
3] The decision to almagate as MDC-A, contrary to "popular" opinion, wasn't even a response to the SC judgement.

From as far as just after the death of MRT, movements towards MDC reunification, were evident.

In any case, the ALLIANCE agreement created opportunities for this.

1] NGOs are a very important development partner in Africa in general, & Zimbabwe in particular.

To the best of my knowledge, they are cleared by relevant authorities & work directly through gov Ministries with which they have MOUs, as they "compliment government efforts".
2] The office of the PDC or DDC (former PA & DA respectively) are ZanuPF political structures populated by unelected & incompetent political figureheads.

Both offices simply disturb the work of Councils.

The same explains the creation of the office of State Ministers.
3] I fail to, respectively, understand how a PDC has the competence, let alone legal footing to regulate the operation of NGOs (which is important).

With the size of Harare, only @TMuguti knows how he plans to execute this.

Allow NGOs to operate freely through line Ministries.
