OPINION: MDC And Zanu PF Singing The Same Song On Having Schools Of Ideology

An opinionist writing for Business Times praised the country’s leading political parties for having schools of ideology where they train party cadres how to handle themselves and conduct themselves as politicians among other things.

Zvauya opined:

In their resolution Zanu PF said that in order for the party to withstand the nefarious machinations of marauding regime change operatives, the Herbert Chitepo School of Ideology must unpack these complex issues into teaching material for the training of the party leadership including members of parliament, general membership and key government officials.

“Years without a thoughtout, planned, organised and funded training programme has resulted in a serious degeneration of political and ideological consciousness amongst the entire membership of the Party.

This has inevitably impacted negatively on discipline and commitment, leadership and organisation and consequently on the ability of the membership of the party to understand their political environment,” Moyo said.

The opposition MDC has also launched the Morgan Richard Tsvangirai School of Leadership and Ideology Development series that is also expected to be attended by the party’s legislators.

MDC leader Nelson Chamisa launched the inaugural programme.

Chamisa said the party’s legislators should religiously attend the lecture series in the future.

“We have learnt from Morgan Tsvangirai who taught us that we must use peace to confront guns and violence.

This is the year of action. Our MPs must attend the lectures to understand our party’s philosophy and principles that we are a non-violent party.

They will try to shoot us and whenever you see anyone using guns, you must know that they are cowards,” Chamisa said.

Zanu PF School of Ideology is named after the late Zanu PF chairman Herbert Chitepo who died in Zambia Lusaka in 1975.

The MDC School of Ideology is named after the late Tsvangirai. Political analyst Ibbo Mandaza said both political parties were keen to reorient their party members to their ideologies.
