The revelation was made by the party’s interim leader, Jacob Ngarivhume, in Gweru over the weekend while speaking to The Zimbabwean.
TZ was formed by 2,400 delegates who attended the Convention of Prayer Network on December 8. Some of the party’s founding principles include good governance, a democratic society, building a competitive economy and empowerment of citizens.
“We are a new party that is bent on transforming Zimbabwean society and its political culture. We have been hearing calls by other parties to come together and form a united force that can bring change in Zimbabwe by defeating Zanu (PF) in the next elections,” said Ngarivhume.
“Our position on that idea is that we are free to enter into talks about that grand coalition with any other political parties who share our principles and values.”
MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai has been calling on other opposition parties to join him in a coalition that can remove Zanu (PF) from power in the 2018 elections. The call has so far seen MDC99 leader Job Sikhala abandoning his party to join MDC-T.
Welshman Ncube, leader of the smaller MDC faction, has so far not come out in the open to share his views on the idea. However the party’s spokesperson, Nhlanhla Dube, is on record as saying they will not comment until they are formally approached.
Lovemore Madhuku, the interim president of the NCA party, has also indicated that he is free to discuss the issue if approached by the MDC-T leadership.
“We need to come up with a way in which Zimbabweans can be afforded an opportunity to choose a party of their choice which has strong ideas on how to transform the country into a desirable one. TZ comes from a Christian background and, as a party, we believe that we are able to restore the state of the nation and ensure the economy is stable, government upholds the rule of law unconditionallyy and state institutions are impartial and efficient,” he said.
He also emphasised that President Robert Mugabe should quit politics.
“At 90 years of age, it only makes sense for one to retire and enjoy their life at home. However, that does not mean I fear facing such a candidate in the elections.”

Why don’t you start on a clean slate…vana MDC T ava vanyanyosvibiswa nema scandals….siyanai navo Transform Zimbabwe
Of cause a grand coalition sounds best, but it requires transformed leaders who would not take the tendencies of the current leadership who do not fear to vandalise and steal the resources of an innocent Zimbabweans who are very humble. In Tranform Zimbabwe, we have a groomed leadership who has the zest and zeal to take Zimbabwe to different level. VIVA TRANSFORM ZIMBABWE VIVA!
Zimbabwe now need totally new leadership with vaues and princepes, because the failure of our nation has been the failure of leadership. “Transform Zimbabwe woye”
Both ZANU and MDC have failed the nation. We now need a new political party with Christian values hence the formation of TZ. We will not join any opposition party. We will stand alone and win elections. Handei vanoenda……..
A grand coalition is welcome but only on condition those other parties willing to join us share common values with us. People who are really transformed or are willing to transform and take up our christian values. God should be our common transformation factor… Handei vanoenda! We will get there Zimbabwe…
all that zimbabwe needs is a transformed and renewed leadership in all sectors.viva transform zimbabwe viva
