Opposition squabbling benefits Zanu-PF: Analysts

Continuous purges in Zanu-PF will likely disintegrate the party, but confusion and more squabbling in the opposition camp will make it impossible to break the hegemony of President Robert Mugabe's outfit, analysts have said.

Despite claims by the Zanu-PF winning factions that the purges would cleanse and solidify the party, political analyst, Alexander Rusero said the purges were, in fact, the genesis for worse problems for Zanu-PF.

He, however, warned that the Zanu-PF hegemony would continue because the opposition had its own share of problems to seize the opportunity of Zanu-PF's infighting and wrest power.
