The supporter of MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai, has claimed that the  former Vice President and ZimPF leader Joice Mujuru has no support if the little crowed that characterized her rallies in Bulawayo and Harare is the only support that she has.

Soneni Dube‎  said Mujuru, who recently addressed a handful of her party supporters at Stanley Square in Bulawayo revealed that she has nothing to offer the people of Zimbabwe.

"In her speech, ‘MaNdlovu', as Mujuru called herself so as to be politically accepted in Bulawayo, stressed the issue of coalition of opposition parties. ZimPF was only declared a political party this year in February," Dube said. "This means that ZimPF is still adapting to the opposition politics environment. Politics is a game of numbers."

She said however, this is different with Mujuru's party which has few supporters. After realizing that ZimPF has few, Mujuru thought of coalescing with other opposition parties.

"The idea of a coalition implicates that ZimPF wants to use other opposition parties who are superior in terms of numbers of supporters than that party.
However, Mujuru should be advised that the downside of forming an alliance of political parties is that all the leaders of different parties crave for power. In the event that the union has been formed, things like slight digression from the common agenda or misjudging a partner's sentiment can cause a great damage to the planned union," Dube said.

"Also, an alliance between political parties is often affected by ideological differences among the leaders of those organisations. Ideologies of disgruntled politicians usually affect the output."

Dube said People Democratic Party (PDP) led by Tendai Biti strongly believes that forming solidarity with Mujuru's ZimPF is a great idea.

"ZimPF and PDP share the same background of being political turncoats. Worse still, Mujuru is a reject of the ruling party Zanu-PF while Biti is a discard from the opposition party MDC-T. Zanu-PF ideology and MDC-T ideology are like water and oil which never mix. The same is likely to be experienced if ever Mujuru and Biti attempt to unite," he said.
