A political commentator Vince Musewe has said Zimbabweans are now tired of the liberation rhetoric which is being used by the ruling Zanu-PF to hold on to power.
"The time for liberation struggle politics is over. As Zimbabweans, I think we have had enough of liberation rhetoric. For far too long we trusted our liberation struggle governments but one thing they have failed and are clearly unable to do, is to bring about economic freedom underpinned by inclusive transformational development," said Musewe.
"In fact development per-se has never been on their agenda as they seek to increase state/party economic hegemony which rewards loyalists and demonises anyone who seeks their replacement by more competent and representative govt. They call it regime change as if that is an evil intention."
"We need regular regime change because without that we will breed non-accountability entitlement and incompetence," he added.
He said Africa's rising has been delayed by struggle politicians who think their participation in the continent's liberation entitles them to power even where it is clear that their policies and agendas have failed to unlock potential.
"There surely must be a new dawn and that new dawn requires the death of moribund struggle politics and its archaic ideas and it's replacement by transformational inclusive politics which creates new developmental states," he said.
