Leader of the opposition Movement for Democratic party, advocate Nelson Chamisa has said that Zimbabwe has several crises but the most crippling one is leadership deficiency.
Zimbabwe faces an extraordinary, unprecedented and multifaceted crisis, a political crisis upon an election dispute birthing a shortage of everything, unprecedented challenges called for an unprecedented response and extraordinary disposition.We have serious shortages in the country, shortages of fuel, power, basics like bread, shortages of jobs, but the biggest shortage we have is of leadership, we do not have a leadership that can deal with these problems and turn them into our strengths, that is the leadership we need right now.
Chamisa said that it was imperative to quicken all efforts towards addressing the terrible situation the nation is in. The youthful leader is adamant that president Emmerson Mnangagwa did not win the 2018 elections. Consequently, the MDC intends to push him out of power before 2023 when his term ends.
He also claims that all the crises emanate from Mnangagwa’s illegitimacy and would all disappear once the impasse is resolved. The MDC advocates a politically-negotiated settlement which will result in a comprehensive package of electoral reforms, the establishment of a transitional government and the exit from power by Zanu PF.
Zanu PF says in addition to the POLAD (national political dialogue), the ongoing currency reforms are part of the solutions to both political and economic crises.
