Mugabe has finally met his match

Zimbabweans yesterday expressed mixed views over former Vice-President Joice Mujuru's fledgling political project, People First, and her grand re-entrance into the country's mainstream politics.

NewsDay took to the streets of Harare to gauge the general sentiments over the People First project.

While the majority of the interviewees said they supported Mujuru's political outfit, others said her past connections with Zanu-PF had a potential of denting her future political plans.

Former Zimbabwe National Students' Union (Zinasu) spokesperson Zachariah Mushawatu, a political science graduate, said: "There is definitely room for a new opposition party to become popular."

However, People First making it big on the political front might prove a bit difficult because the protagonists in that party unfortunately, have a bad history.

They were involved in bad things associated with Zanu-PF that happened in this country and brought the country to its knees since 1980.
