Zanu PF legislator Terence Mukupe has posted a collage of photos and suggested that in his view the next president after Robert Mugabe will come from the people with photos in the collage.

The collage has photos of vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, First lady Grace Mugabe, former Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor Gideon Gono, Defence Minister Sydney Sekeramayi and Local Government MInister Saviour Kasukuwere.

"The Next President of Zimbabwe. If there is one thing I'm sure of is that the person that is going to succeed my President RG Mugabe when he decides it's time is definitely going to come from one of the individuals in the collage below," Mukupe posted.

"As I look at how our party, Zanu PF, has transformed itself over the years and has come up with the one centre of power philosophy, it's clear that we have become a party that is centered on individuals. When one looks at the so called factional fights within Zanu PF, I do find it interesting that there is so much focus on nhingi should be the next President. What I'm failing to hear is what that Presidential aspirant has to offer to the people of Zimbabwe."

He said what he find interesting is that this phenomenon is not confined to Zanu PF, it also holds true for the MDC, ZAPU and other political parties. It's a cult like following.

"My hope and dream is that we as the people of Zimbabwe start looking objectively at what the individual that is looking to lead has to offer to the future well being of our country," he said.
