No transformation will be made by current system- Musewe

A political commentator Vince Musewe has said there is no transformation that can be expected from the current system under the ruling Zanu PF which has caused serious problems for the nation.

"We need a revolution. We cannot expect substantive transformation by relying on the very system which has created our current status quo. Every system is designed to give you the results that you get. Our political institutional framework has been designed to maintain  Zanu PF hegemony and it will continue to do so unless we fundamentally transform it. We are now gearing for another cycle of elections and are hoping that cosmetic changes will deliver freedom. That is a fallacy. As long as Zanu PF controls the state machinery which it has captured, elections without substantive reforms are a waste of time," he said.

"We have argued for a radical change of the electoral architecture accompanied by economic reforms in order to first sanitizer this system but unfortunately there has been no takers simply because of the disruptive nature of the NTA. In my view this still remains our only hope for fundamental change in why and how we elect our political leaders but it appears that we seem comfortable to use old formulae hoping that they will produce new results. That will not happen. At some stage in the future we will have to revisit the NTA idea but I not ashamed to say that it is an idea whose time has not yet come."
