A political commentator Bryanne Munashe Mhuriyengwe‎ has said it is known to all opposition political parties that the ruling Zanu PF has become un popular and is failing to solve national problems and what is left is for the opposition parties to proffer their possible solutions to such problems in order to wrestle power from the ruling party.
"It is a well known fact that Mugabe (President ) is now old enough to surrender the presidency to someone willingly or forcibly. It is also true that Zanu -PF policies are less popular economically, socially and politically. It is a well known fact too that all opposition parties in Zimbabwe aware of that and have successively tried to utilize that loophole," he said.
"It is a well known fact that Morgan Tsvangirai is the most successful and attractive candidate for 2018 in all opposition camps. That is a fact. No doubt. It is also a known fact that government led by Zanu-PF patrons prioritise minor issues at the expense of top matters. It is also a known fact that the purpose of opposition parties in any government is to proffer better policy alternatives. My question now is: What are opposition parties doing to address Zanu PF short-comings?"
He said instead of telling us everything wrong that Zanu PF has done or not done, opposition parties must emphasise more on what they want to do for the people.
"That is progressive politics. The electoral college will never evaluate you basing on what you said about someone, but what you promise you will be to them. Do not indulge into the activities of the public, namely weighing political opportunities. The masses may not be educated yes, but they know very well to choose between life and death," he said. "My colleagues in opposition politics, lets work for the masses. They will identify us by what we do not what we said others did or did not do."
