A political commentator Josepher Madlanduna has claimed that President Robert Mugabe and the MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai are the same in terms of their systems of leadership.
"Their loyalists always say you don't change a commander in the middle of a war or struggle," Madlanduna said. "But Zimbabwe is not in a war and they are no war commanders as such.Even the two leaders below believe they are practising democracy."
He said democracy is as good or as bad as those who practice it.
"One unwritten golden rule in democracy is that you don't stay long. Power corrupts gradually!" he said. "I see dangerous undemocratic similarities in these two men (Mugabe and Tsvangirai). They have done their part and time to stop is now!"
