Transform Zimbabwe leader Jacob Ngarivhume has said he will join forces with MDC Alliance President Nelson Chamisa in the following weeks to call for the much-needed reforms.
Ngarivhume who recently said he was not reviving his party because he felt Nelson Chamisa needed support said:
<blockquote>Had a conversation with Advocate Nelson Chamisa. I’m very excited about combining effort in the coming weeks to build a broad consensus to push the reforms agenda and double down on the anti corruption fight in this critical period, where accountability is absolutely imperative.</blockquote>
Ngarivhume was last year arrested and detained for over a month for calling for people to demonstrate against president Mnangagwa’s maladministration.
Meanwhile, a former <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/watch-pr-firms-false-front-oppositions-wont-work-with-biden-former-us-official-to-zimbabwe/">US official Todd Moss has said Zimbabwe</a> needs to up its game when it comes to implementing the much-needed reforms. Moss said PR firms, lobbyists, and false fronted oppositions were counterproductive and such acts will probably make the international community shut doors on Zimbabwe.

Transform Zimbabwe leader Jacob Ngarivhume has said he has been asked questions why he is not reviving his party. In response, Ngarivhume said Nelson Chamisa leads the biggest opposition party for now and he needs to be supported.
Tweeted Ngarivhume:
<blockquote>Some people are asking me to revive Transform Zimbabwe- the political party I lead. But I believe now is the the for a new kind of mature politics. <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1n1174f r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" data-focusable="true" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/nelsonchamisa" role="link">@nelsonchamisa </a>leads the largest opposition party.

Ngarivhume also advised the MDC Alliance to engage Zimbabweans and push for reforms before the next presidential elections:
<blockquote>My hope is that the MDC-A’s leadership may begin to engage the people of Zimbabwe and guide the process for reforms working with regional and international partners to take head-on the abuses in our country.</blockquote>
Ngarivhume headlined last year for mobilizing people to demonstrate against {resident Mnangagwa’s maladministration. He was arrested together with Journalist Hopewell Chin’ono and stayed in prison for 45 days charged with inciting public violence.

Transform Zimbabwe leader Jacob Ngarivhume who has been on a tour around the country pointing out scenarios, things, and issues that are amiss has urged parents to withdraw their children from schools because he says the teachers are not there and there is no one to discipline the children which are now behaving in a not so desirable manner.

WATCH: Withdraw Your Children From Schools - Jacob Ngarivhume After Touring Schools

Jailed Transform Zimbabwe president Jacob Ngarivhume’s wife, Nyasha Ngarivhume, said life has been tough for her and their children since her husband’s arrest and subsequent detention.
Ngarivhume was arrested on 20 July on charges of inciting public violence for called for the foiled 31 July anti-corruption protests and has not tasted freedom since.
Mai Ngarivhume however, finds comfort in her belief that her husband is innocent. She said:
<blockquote>It has not been easy. The road has been rocky. The burden has been heavy knowing that your husband is in prison and you believe that he is innocent.
He has not done anything wrong. He is now in chains for the hope of Zimbabwe. So, we keep the faith.
The children are missing their dad. They always tell me to pass their greetings to him and how much they missed him. They are, however, proud of their dad.</blockquote>
One of Ngarivhume’s lawyers, Moses Nkomo of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights told NewZimbabwe.com that his client remains in high spirits despite his incarceration for over a month.
Ngarivhume is “a guest of the State” at the notorious, heavily fortified Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison where hardcore convicted criminals serve their sentences
His bail appeal will be handed down next Tuesday by High Court judge Justice Siyabona Paul Musithu.

WATCH: Ruling On Jacob Ngarivhume's Bail Application Postponed, Still Denied Warm Food

Opposition Transform Zimbabwe leader Jacob Ngarivhume was on Friday denied bail again when he appeared before High Court Judge Justice Tawanda Chitapi.
Ngarivhume was arrested on 20 July and charged with inciting public violence after rallying the citizenry to participate in anti-corruption protests that he had scheduled for the 31st of July.
He was arrested on the same day as corruption whistleblower Hopewell Chin’ono who was also denied bail this Friday.
Lawyer Moses Nkomo said Ngarivhume and Chin’ono are being transferred from Harare Remand Prison to Chikurubi Maximum Prison today.
Their arrest and continued detention have attracted the attention of the international community which is now calling upon Harare to uphold human rights enshrined in the constitution.
The democratic space in the Southern African country has been decreasing since the ascension to power of President Mnangagwa in 2017 with reports of the government crackdown on dissent on the rise lately.
The unfolding is not so good for the Mnangagwa-led administration that recently embarked on an engagement and re-engagement agenda.
Authorities, in strong terms, deny any form of human rights violations in the country.
They rather argue that the alleged abuses are coined by the country’s detractors to dirt Zimbabwe’s image.

BREAKING: Opposition Leader Jacob Ngarivhume Denied Bail, Again

Bishop Lazarus, a pseudonym for an anonymous Sunday News columnist has said the opposition protests scheduled for the 31st of this month will be a non-event.
The Bishop suggested that the protests are a strategy of the country’s enemies who seek to overthrow the President Mnangagwa-led administration. Bishop Lazarus said:
<blockquote>Well, July 31 is now five days away; it will come and go largely without incident, but it simply represents the largely mutating strategies of the country’s sworn enemies.
They might fool impressionable millennials, who do not know the schemes and skulduggery that happen behind the scenes, and sheepishly swallow social media theatrics hook, line and sinker, but how do they think they would run rings around those who know how these evil strategies have evolved from the 1960s to now?</blockquote>
The protests were called by Jacob Ngarivhume of Transform Zimbabwe who said the citizenry should demonstrate to register displeasure over alleged rampant corruption by government officials.
Ngarivhume and corruption whistle-blower Hopewell Chin’ono have since been arrested for rallying the citizenry to participate in the protests.

Tweets Presented By State As Evidence That Ngarivhume Incited Violence

POLAD principals have said demonstrations being planned by non-governmental organisations, trade unions, churches and some political parties will destabilise the peace prevailing in the country, The Herald reports
Bethel Christian Party leader Dr Willard Mugadza speaking at the sidelines of POLAD’s third principals’ executive plenary meeting at the statehouse yesterday said dialogue instead of demonstrations was the way forward. Said Dr Mugadza;
<blockquote>The issues that are being raised by those that are outside Polad are the same issues that we are also raising since the inception of Polad. So negotiations with the ruling party has been agreed and they shall continue. Dialogue is the best way forward instead of engaging in demonstrations.</blockquote>
Another POLAD principal, New Patriotic Front President Welcome Shumba also said:
<blockquote>We don’t support the demonstrations. As Zimbabweans, we should find each other. We know those who are behind the demonstrations. As Zimbabweans we should learn to dialogue.</blockquote>
Transform Zimbabwe president Jacob Ngarivhume has called on Zimbabweans to join him as he protests against poor governance by President Mnangagwa’s administration on 31 July 2020.

Demonstrations Will Destabilise The Peace Prevailing In Zimbabwe - POLAD

Paidamoyo Muzulu, a Harare based journalist has expressed scepticism on the protests planned for the 31st of July saying they remind of 2017 military assisted transition that ushered President Mnangagwa into power.
The protests were called by Jacob Ngarivhume, the leader of Transform Zimbabwe, to mark the second anniversary of the 2018 disputed presidential election and to force the incumbent government to yield to increasing calls for a National Transitional Authority (NTA).
The protests have since been endorsed by many opposition parties, including the factions of the main opposition MDC amid reports that some members of the ruling ZANU PF are involved in the organisation of the protests. Muzulu wrote:
<blockquote>It feels once again like it’s a now moment or never. Zimbabweans want change and are not ready to question the type of change they want. They simply want change. It smells like November 2017 all over again.</blockquote>
He further claimed that the citizens’ desperation for change is as a result of prolonged economic and humanitarian and political crises in the country which they believe a new political setup can address.
The protests when reports of corruption in the country, mainly by government officials, have risen lately while the economy has continued to deteriorate unabated.

"It Smells Like November 2017 All Over Again." - Journalist

The opposition MDC Alliance led by Nelson Chamisa has supported the idea of establishing a National Transitional Authority (NTA) to replace President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration.
The party’s branch in China, MDC Alliance China, suggested that the NTA, however, should focus on the implementation of reforms which must precede 2023 elections.
Responding to a tweet by Jacob Ngarivhume, the leader of opposition Transform Zimbabwe, who had claimed that the Church and Civil society stood ready to facilitate the process of establishing an apolitical National Transitional Authority guide Zimbabwe in this desperate hour, MDC Alliance China said:
<blockquote>No NTA should go beyond 2023. We need elections just after electoral and security reforms. <a class="link-complex" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23zanupfmustgo" rel="hashtag noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zanupfmustgo.</a>

The government is claiming to be implementing the much-needed political, media and economic reforms as suggested by the international community, the opposition, analysts and human rights activists.
Critics, however, say there have been superficial reforms which are meant to hoodwink the observers into believing that the Mnangagwa led administration was committed to reforming.
Since 2017 when Mnangagwa took over from his late long-time mentor, Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s economy has been on a downward trend while reports of bad governance and human rights violations have been on the rise.

"No National Transitional Authority Should Go Beyond 2023" - MDC Alliance

Jacob Ngarivhume, leader of the opposition Transform Zimbabwe who is organising the “#ZANUPFMustGo,” and “#31July” demonstrations has said the protests will proceed whether authorities sanction them or not.
He speaks when government officials, including President Mnangagwa, have hinted that lockdown regulations will be tightened in some parts of the country amid a surge in coronavirus cases.
Ngarivhume was speaking in an exclusive interview with NewZimbabwe during which he hinted that the demonstrations will be nationwide “to demand the availing of the Unites States dollar for all citizens, end of poverty, equality and better health care.” He added:
<blockquote>We are preparing notifications to police, which we will send out early next week.
Our intention is to come up with one national notification which we will give to the police command and others which will address specific district police centres.
But what you need to bear in mind is that this is a mere notification and not an application for approval and whether or not they permit, the demonstrations will proceed.</blockquote>
The demonstrations have also been endorsed by a number of opposition leaders and parties including MDC Alliance, Norton legislator (independent) Temba Mliswa and ousted ZANU PF youth leader, Godfrey Tsenengamu.

"Whether Or Not They Permit, The 31 July Demonstrations Will Proceed," - Organisers

Court-appointed MDC T interim leader Thokozani Khupe’s bid to form an alliance of smaller political parties that once fused with Nelson Chamisa’s MDC Alliance has failed to take off as one of the parties’ leaders Transform Zimbabwe’s Jacob Ngarivhume is refusing to be a part of the formation, New Zimbabwe reports.
Ngarivhume yesterday dismissed rumours that he was engaging with Thokozani Khupe and Tweeted:
<blockquote>I would like to dispel rumours that I am in discussions with Dr Thokozani Khupe branch of MDC.
These reports aren’t true. The events taking place within the MDC are a sore point for the whole nation. My hope is that we the people can rise above petty politics in this very crucial hour.</blockquote>
Multiracial Christian Democracy (MCD) president, Mathias Guchutu confirmed that Khupe reached out to them:
<blockquote>I can confirm that they (MDC-T) have invited us to a meeting and there is nothing wrong with that. My own thinking was Chamisa should have called us and update us on the best way forward, but he hasn’t done so for reasons best known to himself.
For now, what I can confirm is that there is that move from Khupe that we should revisit the alliance pact and then think of the way forward. I cannot really foretell what lies ahead. We are therefore waiting for that meeting to take place so that we can be able to tell as a party if we say yes or no to their proposal.</blockquote>

Jacob Ngarivhume Distances Himself From Any Engagements With Khupe.

The Movement for Democratic Change Tsvangirai (MDC-T) led by Thokozani Khupe has reportedly secured the support of three MDC Alliance principals who were part of the 2017 pact.
The three principals are Transform Zimbabwe president Jacob Ngarivhume, Zanu Ndonga leader Denford Musiyarira and Mathisa Guchutu of the Multiracial Christian Democracy (MCD).
The development was confirmed by an anonymous MDC-T official who told New Zimbabwe that the inaugural meeting between the principals and MDC-T officials had been slated for Saturday. The official said:
<blockquote>The meeting was supposed to take place in Harare on Saturday last week, but it could not happen because of Ngarivhume’s absenteeism.
In fact, he sent through an excuse and asked for a postponement of the meeting on the basis that he had travelled outside Harare on an emergency and the meeting was duly rescheduled to early next month.</blockquote>
The development was also confirmed by MDC-T national chairperson Morgen Komichi who said the plan was to review the Alliance pact of 2017 and establish a grand coalition to contest in the 2023 election which are drawing closer.
He said MDC Alliance was left out since it “is not a political party” adding that perhaps Tendai Biti and Welshman Ncube would bring their parties- PDP and MDC-N respectively.

WATCH: Elections Cant Remove Zanu PF - Opposition Leader Jacob Ngarivhume

Leader of Transform Zimbabwe (TZ), Jacob Ngarivhume is planning to roll out an unusual strategy to force President Emmerson Mnangagwa to deal with the country’s failing economy.
In an interview with Daily News, Ngarivhume revealed that his party intends to reach out to other political parties to embark on a hunger strike. Said Ngarivhume:
<blockquote>We have plans to have a hunger strike to confront this regime. The mobilisation is going on, we are reaching out to other opposition political parties like the MDC.
We don’t want Transform Zimbabwe to be acting on their own and the MDC do its own programmes, we want to share ideas.
The month of July is the target for our hunger strike and we are ready as a party. Ordinary Zimbabweans are suffering. We need to bring an end to this madness. The leadership has failed this nation.</blockquote>
While TZ intends to use a hunger strike as a method to achieve its objects, the MDC has announced that it will roll out mass protests across the country.

Zim Opposition To Use Hunger In Pushing For Reforms

Leader of opposition political party Transform Zimbabwe, Jacob Ngarivhume, says that the solution to the current economic crisis is the convergence of Zimbabweans in a respectful national dialogue.
Ngarivhume expressed his sentiments in an interview with a Daily News reporter. He said:
<blockquote>Genuine leaders should realise that we can’t be in election mode forever. We need to come together and converge as Zimbabweans. So the idea of national dialogue is important.
We need to dialogue and set aside our differences, respectfully and genuinely and not the approach that Mnangagwa and Zanu PF are taking whereby they want to mediate and be the referees of that discussion. They want to be convenors and chair that discussion.</blockquote>
Asked if former President Robert Mugabe and incumbent Emmerson Mnangagwa are different, Ngarivhume said that the two are not different, rather they are just one person.
<blockquote>They are not even Siamese twins; they are just one person, one individual. It’s just two-in-one; the way they are governing and the way they are doing everything is the same, nothing is different and if you want to force the separation of the two then ED is worse.</blockquote>
Ngarivhume revealed that his party is fighting for electoral reforms and vowed not to participate in an election where there are no reforms first.

Mugabe and ED Are Not  Different, They Are One Person - Ngarivhume

Transform Zimbabwe (TZ) has parted ways with the MDC Alliance over failure to remove ZANU PF from power. TZ leadership has already informed its members not to participate in the upcoming MDC congress set to be held from the 24th to the 26th of May.
The statement by TZ read:
<blockquote>The idea was that if the alliance succeeded in dislodging (Zanu PF), the parties would form a coalition government in terms of the agreed criteria; if it did not succeed, the parties would engage to agree on the way forward,.
It is common cause that the alliance did not succeed to dislodge the military-backed Zanu PF government and by operation of law, the alliance was dissolved, with each party reverting to its position prior to August 5, 2017.
Negotiations were opened for the amalgamation of the alliance partners into one political formation. This would entail the alliance partners dissolving their party structures and joining into one party under the name and style of MDC.
The Transform Zimbabwe national executive committee met to consider the various options and resolved not to participate in the amalgamation process. It was resolved that the party pursues its founding vision and continues to champion the cause of democratisation of Zimbabwe outside the MDC formation.
The Transform Zimbabwe leadership and membership wishes the MDC well in its upcoming congress and beyond. We remain committed to co-operate with other pro-democracy forces until we achieve the dream of a free, democratic, inclusive and transformed Zimbabwe.</blockquote>

FULL TEXT: Jacob Ngarivhume's TZ Quits MDC-Alliance

The alliance between the Chamisa-led MDC and Jacob Ngarivhume’s Transform Zimbabwe has come to end.
Chamisa and Ngarivhume joined hands in the run-up to the disputed July 2018 elections under the MDC Alliance umbrella.
However, the two parties failed to work together properly especially when it came to the allocation of constituencies with reports indicating that an MDC candidate was fielded where Ngarivhume was supposed to contest.
Speaking about his departure from the MDC Alliance, Ngarivhume said:
<blockquote>We are leaving the alliance. We met as the executive and decided to make this decision.
Transform Zimbabwe executive felt we can add more value as TZ to the democratic movement. We want to build more our organization and then work with the alliance in 2023.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, MDC spokesperson Jacob Mafume refused to be drawn into the issue.
The MDC Alliance consisted of Chamisa’s MDC, Tendai Biti’s People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Welshman Ncube’s MDC, Zanu Ndonga led by Denford Musiyarira, Multi-Racial Christian Democratic Party, Zimbabwe People First fronted by Agrippa Mutambara, and Jacob Ngarivhume’s Transform Zimbabwe.

Chamisa, Ngarivhume Alliance Breaks Up

President of an opposition party Free Zimbabwe, Jacob Ngarivhume says Zimbabweans should draw lessons from Sudan where the military staged a coup against long-time strongman Omar Al-Bashir on Thursday.
The Sudanese people have rejected the proposal to form a Transitional Military Council to govern the country for the next two years. The citizens have demanded a civilian government now. Said Ngarivhume:
<blockquote>The Sudanese people are now demanding a civilian transitional authority because they have learnt from the last 5 coups that the Military Is not meant for governance.
I hope it doesn’t take Zimbabwe for 50 years. Zimbabwe badly needs a Civilian Transition authority without political leaders.
Zimbabwe has a deficit of people who are honest driven political leaders. It appears people are willing to do and say anything for political positions and such people can never be trusted with the nation.
It is also important to come to terms with the fact that Freedom for our nation will never come through the ballot box. For freedom to come through the ballot we would need reforms in the electoral system. I can confidently say that ZEC is a ZANU PF entity and it will never reform voluntarily.
Reforms also have to be pushed through in PARLIAMENT and OPPOSITION does NOT have the numbers to push such reforms and as long as opposition continues to field double candidates and self-sabotage there will never be enough numbers to push for reforms in Parliament and this reality faced by all instead of lying to ourselves about a Victory in 2023.
Sometimes facing our reality instead of entertaining unrealistic notions is important. facts to face when it comes to ZANU PF.
ZANU PF will never change, ZANU PF will never Reform, ZANU PF will always promise you the moon and the stars but you never get anything and if ZANU PF gives you something there is a price tag on it and they will collect.
Zimbabweans need to understand that we are in this together, Black, White Asian, Shona or Ndebele we must be UNITED.
ZANU PF will never relinquish power through the ballot. ZANU PF Is already planning how they will rig the next election.
They are ten steps ahead as ZANU PFs Primary business is the business of staying in POWER. Somewhere in the ZEC Office, the Presidential results for 2023 are already being plotted. 
The toughest reality we must face is that it will probably take a people-driven revolution to remove ZANU PF. meaning we the people will have to take the lead in getting our lives and the future of our children back from the grip of ZANU PF.
When a politician or Political party says they will win in 2023 be good to yourselves Zimbabweans and ask them, What reforms have they pushed or currently pushing that will ensure the elections are free and fair and that ZEC will announce opposition as the winner? If the answer is in the negative, then the chances of winning are next to none.</blockquote>

FULL TEXT: Jacob Ngarivhume Says Zim Should Learn From Sudan

<blockquote>
<h4>By Jacob Ngarivhume| Today South African president Cyril Ramaphosa defined the Zimbabwean problem as a Sanctions problem. While he was asking for sanctions to be removed President Ramaphosa forgot to talk about the ZANU PF sanctions imposed on the Zimbabwean people. He forgot</h4>
1. To talk about the brutality being perpetrated by the Mnangagwa Regime. He forgot to talk about the systematic door to door campaign being conducted by the Zimbabwean military to brutalise and silence defenceless citizens. He forgot to talk about how many people Mnangagwa and his military have murdered since taking over from Mugabe. So far more than 18 people have been murdered since August 1.

He forgot to talk about the fact that although Mnangagwa’s government slogan is “Zimbabwe is open for Business”, ED’s govt has not passed any meaningful legislation to change the economic laws which have stifled foreign direct investment coming to Zimbabwe. The same economic laws which destroyed our economy are still there. How can Zimbabwe be open for business when its LAWS SCREAM ZIMBABWE IS CLOSED FOR BUSINESS?</div>
<div class="td-g-rec td-g-rec-id-content_inlineleft td_uid_2_5c4aaa60d5c04_rand td_block_template_1"><ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-4509990107515435" data-ad-slot="4578959144" data-adsbygoogle-status="done"><ins id="aswift_4_expand"><ins id="aswift_4_anchor"></ins></ins></ins>3. He forgot to talk about the corruption sanctioned by ZANU PF in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe has lost billions of dollars since 1980 from corruption. ZANU PF has managed to destroy every industry and can not account for billions generated from gold and diamond mining. CAN RAMPHOSA explain how Mnangwagwa is dealing with corruption in ZANU PF when ED is the centre of that corruption 
4. HE forgot to talk about the Black market being RUN by Mnangagwa’s friends and family in Zimbabwe 
5. He forgot to talk about the fact that Zimbabwe continues to pillage its resources in exchange for more debt and weapons. He forgot to mention that ED just came back from Russia when he sold more of Zimbabwe’s minerals in exchange for advanced military technology. Why does Zimbabwe need more arms? So that ED can continue to conduct his war against the citizens.</div>
6. Only last week the entire nation was plunged into an illegal internet shutdown by a mere overzealous minister, closing any prospects of the existence of a democratic space with freedom of expression and unfettered access to information.
The reason RAMAPHOSA and South Africa continue to block progressive forces in Zimbabwe and Southern Africa is that he is also part of the old dictatorship club that continue to benefit from corruption. People like Ramaphosa have betrayed everything that Nelson Mandela stood for which was political and economic freedom for all black Africans.
He has now become the spokesperson for the SOUTHERN AFRICAN DICTATORSHIP CLUB which supports black-on-black oppression and white oppression when it serves their interests. This breed of sellouts is only concerned with primitive accumulation to the detriment of our beloved continent! This must be fought with all means available!

Transform Zimbabwe leader Jacob Ngarivhume is reported to have accused the Nelson Chamisa led MDC-T of bullying other smaller parties and grabbing the majority of seats in the colaition MDC Alliance. MDC Alliance spokesperson and leader of the smaller MDC party, Professor Welshman Ncube acknowledged that there were problems but insisted that all selected candidates will fill their nomination papers. Speaking to New Zimbabwe, Ncube said,
<blockquote>Eventually, candidates will be selected. Yes, we are going into the nomination court and there will be a lot of disgruntlement and disappointment among candidates. With or without disagreements, we are still going to file our papers for the candidates at all levels
…I am not worried about the issue of double candidate. Even if it happens in one or two constituencies, there will be a solution. As principals met today (Wednesday) to try and resolve these issues, we managed to agree in some cases and in some, we did not, but that is life and there will be candidates for selection Thursday (today)</blockquote>

MDC-T Accused Of Grabbing Majority Of Seats In MDC Alliance

Transform Zimbabwe leader Jacob Ngarivhume is negotiating with MDC Alliance leader Morgan Tsvangirai to get two more parliamentary seats and 80 council seats as a quota for participating in the coalition.
However, Ngarivhume’s party was allocated 19 parliamentary seats under the alliance which is more than double what Tendai Biti’s People’s Democratic Party got. Said Ngarivhume:
<blockquote>What I can assure you is that we will continue fighting to get a meaningful number of seats and we are negotiating to field candidates for local government (council) seats in about 80 wards even where the seats would be allocated to our alliance partners. Meanwhile, I am negotiating with the MDC-T principal for two more constituencies in Bulawayo or Harare and Manicaland.</blockquote>
Ngarivhume however said the seat allocation was not final as former Vice-President Joice Mujuru’s National People’s Party (NPP) still had a chance to join the alliance.

Jacob Ngarivhume negotiating with Tsvangirai for more seats

Former Vice President and leader of opposition National People’s Party Joice Mujuru has been accused of being insincere about part of a coalition of opposition parties to oust President Robert Mugabe in next year’s harmonised elections. Jacob Ngarivhume, leader of Transform Zimbabwe said that Mujuru was grandstanding and added that he had reservations on whether she was truly opposing President Mugabe. Said Ngarivhume,
<blockquote>We feel as a political party that such behaviour is not fruitful and useful for building an alliance to make sure that we defeat (President Robert) Mugabe next year and I think that backwards and forth has been very worrying to us as a political party and the people of Zimbabwe.
It seems we are going backwards and forth and this is very unfortunate for the cause of democracy and for the cause of bringing everyone together to fight Mugabe next year. We hope she can join us down the line if she changes her mind, but we are also not convinced of her status as a bonafide opposition leader.</blockquote>
This was dismissed by Mujuru’s spokesperson Gift Nyandoro who said:
<blockquote>Ngarivhume has made such ill-informed and reckless utterances he could be either exercising his freewill of the prophetic prowess of doom or he could be a political amateur seeking relevance by commenting on a matter involving political leadership of substance, hoping to achieve cheap political mileage.</blockquote>

We are not convinced that Mujuru is a bonafide opposition leader: Transform Zimbabwe

<blockquote>Statement by MDC President Tsvangirai on the occasion of the signing of an Alliance MOU with Transform Zimbabwe
5 July 2017
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The MDC remains on course on its programme of action to provide leadership to the people of Zimbabwe by mobilizing them for change.
Our teams are currently travelling the length and breadth of this country as we speak, empowering individuals and communities to take their destiny into their own hands educating them on their voting rights and assisting them with ideas on how to confront the challenges that we are all currently facing.
The country is bleeding and what is required is focused action on the ground in our various communities. Robert Mugabe and ZANU-PF are not only clueless but they are also insensitive to the plight of the people.
A few weeks ago, our policy Council completed a review of our policy Agenda. An agenda that should take us out of the current man made crisis. Robert Mugabe and ZANU-PF’s days are numbered. We need to reclaim our country and:
•Resuscitate our mines and industries in order to create jobs,
•Make our education and health services accessible and affordable
•Provide housing opportunities for the homeless
•End the cash crisis and the cycle of poverty gripping our nation.
•Provide support to our informal sector and vulnerable members of our society
•Pay special attention to the needs of our compatriots living with disabilities
•Respect and protect workers’ rights
•Give title as opposed to revocable offer letters and leases to our new farmers so that their stay on the farms is not subject to the whims of any governing party
•Compensate old farmers
•Reinstate the national rather than partisan standing of our liberation war veterans
•Rehabilitate our infrastructure and economic enablers and
•Eradicate corruption
For us to do this we need all our hands on deck. We need to come together as Zimbabweans to end our misery. None but ourselves can get us out of this mess.
In the last few months we have answered the call by the people of Zimbabwe for opposition unity. In this regard, in December 2016 our National Council met and defined a path that the party would follow in achieving the coalescing of opposition forces. This path departs from the current narrative in coalition building, which is being informed, by positions rather than a transformative agenda that responds to the needs of the people. We say no to a coalition built on the basis of a boardroom elite consensus, devoid of and divorced from the voices of Zimbabweans in whatever form expressed and implied.
This path involves the careful selection of our would-be partners, so that we are not infiltrated by our opponents but coalesce only with those who genuinely share our transformative agenda. Being selective is not synonymous with being exclusive. Whilst a squad of a football club might have 26 players, only 11 will play at a time, depending with the Coach’s strategy and the opponent. The remainder will have their chance but still support and remain members of the same squad with the same objective. We seek not a quantitative coalition to distribute positions amongst the elite, but a qualitative agenda driven coalition with a well thought out electoral strategy. We seek a coalition with the people of Zimbabwe from all sectors of our country. We will therefore not experiment with the future of Zimbabweans.
Moreover, our national council resolved that our coalition discussions will take place at a bilateral and not a multilateral level.
Our party also set clear guidelines on how this engagement would be done and the principles guiding it. We will neither prevaricate nor indicate left when we intend to turn right. For we have the courage of our convictions and believe in the rightness of our cause and our course.
Today, as part of this process, we have signed another MOU with a young but vibrant party- Transform Zimbabwe. A party, which has its roots in our religious and civic community. A party formed and led by young people. A party that has worked well with others in the democratic movement seeking an even electoral playing field.
As MDC we recognize that good leadership entails amongst other things the ability to assist in the creation of new leaders and not recycle already recycled and failed ones as part of the process of building a vibrant multi-party democracy in our country for today and for posterity. We need to infuse new blood and new thinking in our body politic. Old wine in new bottles just won’t cut it, because it will be a continuation of the status quo. We need vibrancy and a leadership focused on the current and future challenges that our country and in particular our young people are facing and will face. An agenda anchored on the past as represented by ZANU PF and its neo-acolytes or should I say Zanulites, won’t cut it. Matakadya kare haanyaradze mwana
We need a paradigm shift and a new covenant with the people of Zimbabwe. We need to build a democracy based on the competition of ideas on how to take our country forward rather than daily reminisce about a war we won 37 years ago when the President of Transform Zimbabwe was only two years old. Is it not a shame that at 40 today he has only known one President since our independence in 1980?
We now have a new war. A war against poverty, disease, unemployment and ignorance. A war that requires new warriors, new weapons and new strategies and tactics. We need to build a democracy which is not rooted in some misguided sense of entitlement where other sections of our society believe that them and them alone have the divine right to participate in the governance of our country by virtue of having been born first and thus participated in our noble and shared national liberation struggle. If that sense of misguided entitlement is allowed to take root, then our independence and freedom will never be a shared one.
The 2018 elections present a rare opportunity for all of us to jump our last hurdle to freedom and prosperity as a nation. The 2018 to 2023 period will be an opportune transition period for us to radically transform our governance culture, remove fear from amongst our people, implement our new constitution and revitalize our economy.
Together we will create an environment in which all Zimbabweans will be free to participate in the governance of their country and where all will have equal opportunities to pursue their dreams in freedom. We will build a new society that will pride itself for not leaving anyone behind. We will reform and reconstruct a state that is loved rather than feared by its citizens under the guidance of a caring and God fearing leadership.
Join us in this new war, a war where several battles including a new constitution have already been won by registering to vote and voting for change.
The emerging national convergence 
We also note with gratitude the emerging national sentiment being echoed even from within Zanu PF itself on the fact that President Mugabe should allow the country to move forward and not run in the next election.
We say this not because we are afraid of facing him in an election because in my case, I have defeated Mugabe before. However, I am heartened by the emerging national consensus that given his advanced age, it is not in the national interest to allow a doddering 94-year old to seek a new term. Stepping aside would be in the interest not only of the country but also of the President himself.
We have heard several senior officials in his own party, particularly the speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda speaking about succession and retirement and what should happen thereafter in terms of the national Constitution. War veterans Minister Tshinga Dube has also spoken to that effect, further demystifying this sacred subject in Zanu PF. We are heartened by the fact that some in Zanu PF have now realized that it would be the greatest national betrayal to allow a nonagenarian to seek a new term. This is exactly what Zimbabweans told me during my one-and-half months tour of the country; that we cannot as a country allow a 94-year old to seek re-election. He is too old to understand the challenges of a modern economy.
With all due respect, we cannot as a nation allow a geriatric to preside of a modern economy. Geriatrics should receive our care but cannot govern the twitter generation that now constitutes 60 percent of our population. Yesterday’s people cannot comprehend the dynamics of today. Today’s challenges need today’s people. By virtue of his age, the President is certainly yesterday’s man.
Now we note he is desperately trying to endear himself to the young generation whose future he has virtually destroyed. His so-called youth interface rallies are bereft of any cogent message and are a testimony to his serious disconnect with the concerns and aspirations of the country’s youth.
Moreover, the disruptive closure of schools and the frog-marching of vendors sets a bad precedent of a culture of coercion, which does not bode well for the country, particularly on the eve of an election where people should be free to express themselves.
Indeed, the President’s age is a key election issue. Zanu PF is failing to deal with this age crisis that has now become an albatross of the entire nation. We can fully understand Mudenda’s frustration because even Parliament has its hands hopelessly tied by the whipping system.
It appears Mugabe will not allow anything else that can take away his powers where he has used his incumbency to perpetuate bad and corrupt governance, which has seen the whole of Mazowe becoming his wife’s personal property.
Every institution, through his overstaying in office, has been deliberately emasculated.
I agree with the Speaker of Parliament that the power of the people is the ultimate route that can guarantee us a secure and a democratic future. We remain sticklers to democracy and the electoral route and that is why we are saying the electoral route should be chlorinated so that the people are allowed to freely express themselves and to choose their own leaders.
It is ironic that among the reasons Zimbabwean went to war is the right to vote, which right has been eroded over the years hence our fight through ZINERA for a free and election. Our fight for clean elections is well within the ethos and values of the liberation struggle, particularly one man one vote; or the right to vote for which so many sons and daughters of this land died.
One of the reasons for the national liberation struggle was the land, hence the war cry Mwana Wevhu. Behind that solemn cry was a demand for inheritance in the form of the land which has been haphazardly given to individuals but without title. That inheritance also includes our minerals and it is the height of government negligence that the President himself could admit that $15 billion worth of our diamond heritage disappeared without trace.
For us in the MDC and in the broader democratic movement, inheritance means the restoration of dignity and there cannot be any restoration without title. The title to land will not only restore dignity to Zimbabweans but could also increase productivity and restore the land market.
Conclusion 
In conclusion, I wish to say as Zimbabweans converse about their country and as the huge coalition for change gathers momentum, we derive comfort in the emerging consensus on a number of issues, particularly on the need to allow the President to rest and allow the nation to move forward by not muddying the waters through seeking a new term.
And of course, our narrative goes beyond simply saying Mugabe must go, even though that is the ideal starting point. The real work for this country begins the morning after his departure which is why we in the MDC are sharpening a robust transformative policy agenda that will rehabilitate all sectors of the country’s political economy.
Yes, Mugabe should not stand by virtue of his age. That is only the starting point, but an important one for that matter. It is Mugabe’s age that has paralyzed the entirety of government as everyone within the corridors of power focuses not on the crisis facing the people but on a succession agenda that is now being pursued along factional lines. 
Zimbabwe is greater than individuals and thank God, some in Zanu PF now agree with what some of us have been saying for years that there will still be a country and a people beyond Mugabe.
Our only challenge is to continue to press for the sovereign expression of the people through a truly free, fair and credible election. My parting short is that the real work lies with us, the people of Zimbabwe. Election shenanigans can only happen in an environment of apathy. We should desist from this culture where only 40 percent of eligible voters turn out to vote. The change we seek will be difficult to manipulate if we turn out in our overwhelming numbers to register and to cast our vote on the day of the challenge.
That is the national challenge and as for the youth, you are the game changers in the current national predicament. Do not outsource your future to anyone. That future is literally in your hands.
We are playing our part, as we have done today through this MOU. I urge Zimbabweans, particularly the youth, to have their own memorandum of understanding with their own future by actively seeking to define and secure it through active participation in the politics of their country. 
It all starts by registering to vote.
I Thank You</blockquote>

Statement by MDC President Tsvangirai on signing of an Alliance MOU with Transform Zimbabwe

The leader of the opposition party Transform Zimbabwe, Jacob Ngarivhume has said First Lady Grace Mugabe is one of the major stumbling blocks to Zimbabwe’s prosperity. Ngarivhune described Grace as the source of many problems that the country is facing due to her lavish lifestyle.
Speaking at Mother’s Day commemorations in Budiriro, Ngarivhume said:
<blockquote>Things started to deteriorate when former First Lady Sally (Mugabe) died. When this one (Grace) came in, she began to cause all sorts of troubles while squeezing the economy through her lavish demands. Imagine a person can buy a ring worth $1,4 million in a country where people are facing too many hardships.
Do you think that person can be able to restrain her husband on ruinous policies and lavish spending? We need serious people who understand the plight that many citizens are going through.</blockquote>
