People should not start battles they are ill-prepared to handle. People should not create an agenda for other people. Strive Masiyiwa, Simba Makoni and Mutumwa Mawere have been mentioned as possible leaders. Makoni will not be interested in the post as he told a press conference earlier this week that he needs to set up structures for his own party.
While it is not clear what the responses of Masiyiwa and Mawere are likely to be, I have some reservations as to their willingness to accept. Knowing the names of the people involved in the new party, I can almost tell who suggested which potential leader and why. Time will tell.
Biti may have realised that he had underestimated the capacity of the mainstream MDC that he has abandoned, or conversely, he had overrated his capacity to lead a small party, let alone a country, and is now backtracking and wants someone who will clean up his mess. – Kennedy Kaitano, Mutare
Couldn’t be written any better. Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
