Dr. Nkosana Moyo
The former banker and strategist told The Zimbabwean that he intends to make door to door campaigns and speak to people in private as a way of drumming support for his presidential bid.
“I cant afford to expose my supporters to any violence from Zanu (PF) and so that is why I will not be holding any rallies or distribute party regalia. A person should simply know in their hearts who they want to support and simply vote for them,” he said.
The former Industry minister Moyo created a buzz in 2001 when he did the unthinkable and dumped President Robert Mugabe, just 10 months after he was roped into his “war Cabinet”.A decade later, Moyo is back in Zimbabwe and he was one of the biggest newsmakers last month after a surprise announcement that he is preparing to take on the man who believes he is spineless in next year’s elections.Moyo unveiled Zimbabwe’s newest opposition party, the Alliance for the People’s Agenda (APA), and the political landscape was shaken.
“I believe I can turn around this country’s economic fortunes because I have worked at the World Bank and other international financial institutions where I got the experience. If there is anyone who says he can do that, ask them if they have done so before or simply tell them to produce their Cvs,” said Moyo.
He added: “We are not setting out to fight Zanu PF, or any other political party. We are, instead, setting out to offer competent servant leadership to all Zimbabweans, a leadership that, from the very beginning, is configured to unify the nation rather than divide it.”

Dr Moyo should try knocking at the door of a Zanu PF and get a knuckle sandwich then he would know that his door to door campaign is not going to stop Zanu PF thugs beating people.
What we need here is to have the democratic reforms implemented so we have free, fair and credible elections and stop all this stupid ideas trying to defeat a flawed process using other people as pawns in our high stakes gamble!
How do you implement the reforms? MDC failed to get this done so should we all sit back and do nothing then?
If you accept MDC to be opposition, also allow others with a different mindset to offer themselves to lead.
MDC has failed in every aspect and soon they will be fighting for the post of the sickling Tsvangirayi who is just but like Mugabe.Now instead of telling us their policies of which they don’t have even one all we hear is them criticising other emerging
Parties APA has a lot to offer to lift Zimbabwe to greater heights and you don’t need a rally ,a card or t- shirt to know who to vote for in 2018 but you just need is to select a better person who can lead Zimbabwe well and peacefully.
100%. MDC was a failure the day it elected MT as its leader.
APA is the way to go.
well said
A case of too little too late just like Simba Makoni in the last elections. I think Dr. Moyo would fare much better if he came through the established opposition structures. Do not confuse the electorate please. As respectable as you are in your personal achievements you have nothing to show that you can launch a viable opposition to Zanu PF. Who is in your shadow cabinet? Who are your potential MPs? With elections due in a matter of months I think you should stand with those trying to bring about meaningful change, not potentially help Mugabe by splitting the opposition vote like Simba did.
