Political analyst Pedzisayi Ruhanya has said if President Robert Mugabe can be able to diffuse potential party split at 92 then he is a capable leader than those in the opposition who have failed to control their party members creating fragmentation in their parties.
Ahead of the Thursday Zanu PF Politburo meeting there were serious squabbles among the party members which might have cause a split in the party if the crisis was not properly handled, but to many people's surprised it appears Mugabe managed to quill the fights and brought members together for the continuation of the party much to the disappointment of many who wanted to see the ruling party immediately crumbling due to the escalating fights.
"He may be 92 but if he manages to diffuse potential party splits and unite his party and focus on the bigger picture (2018 election) then age is just a number to President Mugabe. Mugabe is creating a coalition within his party. Where is your coalition you my good for nothing warring opposition friends?" Ruhanya said.
Ruhanya said Zimbabwe's opposition is not fit for purpose if they are bitten by a 92-year old President at the levels of political method and strategy.
"Give it to President Mugabe and his Zanu PF party. When most people think that there will be splits, summary expulsions and anarchy, the Prince of Power has shown that differences within the rank and file of Zanu PF should not always lead to expulsions especially when faced with critical assignments such as the 2018 election. The opposition says its democratic but differences always lead to splits, a very intolerant lot full of contradictions," he said.
