Zanu PF is ideological bankrupt and wasting energy through organising worthless demonstrations by its youth league, MDC leader Welshman Ncube has said.
Writing in his weekly opinion piece, Ncube said Zanu PF should instead be "marching against poverty and unemployment".
He wrote, "You cannot imagine the time and energy invested in high offices by members of the so-called Young Turk G40 and Team Lacoste to conspire and counter-conspire against each other.
"Everything that a ZANU PF cabinet minister does now has more to do with appeasement of either faction or as proof of allegiance to the so-called 'centre of power'.
"A case in point are the delusions of the ZANU PF Youth league national Deputy Secretary Kudzanai Chipanga who is at pains to convince the nation that it is a worthwhile cause investing time and money to mobilise 100 000 youths from 10 provinces for a ‘one-million-man match'.
He added " At a time when millions of these youths are unemployed and thousands of college graduates churned out to a life of poverty, should ZANU PF youth structures not be 'marching against poverty and unemployment'?
"What manner of ideological bankruptcy is it that a party can mobilise resources merely to prove that "… we are the vanguard of the party and we will mobilise ourselves for the march in solidarity with our President, who is also our 2018 candidate"?
At a time when three million rural Zimbabweans are facing hunger arising out of the drought and the country is struggling to settle a ten billion-dollar foreign debt, how can we Zimbabweans tolerate such trivia of gigantic Jurassic proportion? My conclusion - and no doubt millions of other Zimbabweans - is that this political party that claims to have a more than two-thirds parliamentary majority is taking us for fools. The ruling party ZANU PF should not have been; must not be and should never be taken seriously. Their ideals are not about the revolution, national emancipation or empowerment.
