We Need To Reorganise To Stay Relevant Or We Will Perish Says MDC-T Official

 

Archibald Nyamayaro the MDC-T Matabeleland South youth vice-chairman has said that his party needs to reinvent and reorganise itself, otherwise it is going to become irrelevant and in the process lose the support of the electorate to the newly inaugurated President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his rejuvenated Zanu-PF party. Nyamayaro said the fall of Mugabe had generated a lot of excitement and goodwill for Mnangagwa, something which may be hard to counter for the MDC-T.

Speaking to the Southern Eye, Nyamayaro said:

We need to start to shift goalposts. In the past, it has always been ‘Mugabe must fall’. Now there is Mnangagwa, whom we feel has garnered support from people by making people hopeful about Zimbabwe. This, in turn, is a rejuvenation of Zanu PF, so how do we react to this and make our party relevant to the situation?

Although there is need of supporting and engaging on transitional issues, we owe the party an identity. We need to be visible, we need a new face to rejuvenate us not by disrespecting our party president. This is food for thought, which should be digested and acted upon in good time.
