1] There's a need to balance embracing ex political opponents & creating strategic allegiances founded on trust.
Politics is no child's play, neither is defeating an entrenched military dictatorship.
Any serious politician would do so, constantly checking their shoulder.

2] The same political leaders you're forcing to embrace some of these unrepentant characters like true Statesmen, will have difficult questions to answer, when you flip scripts, abusing the benefit of hindsight.
A simple case in point is the unfolding drama of Jabulani Sibanda.

3] Adv Chamisa once spoke of infiltration challenges which historically troubled the MDC.
He mentioned how ZanuPF would know some of their plans before their internal strategic meetings even ended.
Looking back now at the behaviour of these MDC-T people, you see whats at play.

4] ZanuPF might be clueless when it comes to governance, but give them credit when it comes to running effective intelligence.
They even 'hound out' some of their own, & set traps for the ever welcoming Opposition who do so much damage before eventually 'going back home'.

5] Allegiances should be founded on trust & a common agenda.
Forcing alliances with people who have a diff agenda may not be worth the risk, because you might become a hindrance to them.
Don't force yourself to trust people with a well documented history of being untrustworthy.

6] While we tweet here on social media, politics equally involves having sensitive strategic meetings outside the glare of SM.
Don't burden your leaders with having such engagements with these hypocritical characters least we willingly prolong the change agenda.
Trust is key!

7] Of equal importance, is avoiding leaving loyal supporters disillusioned by needlessly trying to woe characters with a checkered history.
How do you ask people not to be emotional. Are human capable of such?
Some of these people bring back a lot of memories, all of them BAD.

8] Leaders should attract respect even when you disagree with them.
On the basis of their history of violence, how can some aggrieved citizens ever embrace the current Leadership in Harare?
The same question arises with regards to some characters angling towards replacing them?

9] Why should you burden citizens by recycling failed 'leaders' & forcing them on us?
Will the democratic alternative fail to attract new "thinkers & political scientists" without a bad history?
Surely there can arise a new generation of patriots who can fix our man made mess!

10] Ofcourse I won't try to paint everyone with a single brush
After all, I'm not God, & won't play gatekeeper against those seeking a new path
I however ask, like in 2017, is there wisdom in consuming medicine which leaves side effects worse than what its 'curing'?
enkosi!
