  1. It was long overdue for the MDC to have a new leader given the provisions of the founding MDC constitution regarding the succession issue. Given the successive failure by MT to get to State House it was a noble idea for the party to rejuvenate itself and of course not after the death of the two decade presidency of MT. It remains unfortunate that most African political leaders want to relinquish power only by death. Democratic Change can only be made possible if the democracy prevails in the party. At the end of the day we can not all be the presidents of one party. I urge all democratic forces to put heads together and confront the zanu Pf monster once and for all. I wish Nelson all the best in leading us to the finish line. May God bless you. And to my late president Rest in eternal Peace.
