A political commentator Allan Wenyika said the ploy to remove President Robert Mugabe from power has since failed and it is also a mistake for the MDC-T to keep Morgan Tsvangirai as a leader of the party.
"Removing Mugabe from power is something that we collectively failed to do, although most of the blame should go to the leaders we had in the original MDC party, who failed to foresee the possible consequences of keeping Morgan Tsvangirai as leader of the party," he said.
"They should have been able, at that time, to see that Tsvangirai was not competent enough to remove Mugabe from power. When they finally realized that Tsvangirai would not take them anywhere it was already too late. It was now difficult to replace him. Like Mugabe, he had become the only face of the revolution."
Wenyika said if Mugabe is to die now, no man should claim any victory.
"We all failed. What's left is for us to see and plan beyond Mugabe and Tsvangirai. I think even God himself does not have these two men in His plans for the future of Zimbabwe. I'm seeing events conspiring, by some divine and mysterious intervention, to give Zimbabwe a new and very unexpected leader from a very unlikely setup," he said.
