#Tajamuka/Sesijikile enthusiasm not enough, says Welshman Ncube

MDC President Professor Welshman Ncube has warned Zimbabweans not to be  consumed by current wave of protests to the extent of not carefully planning the aftermath era.

Ncube said he fully backs the protests which he quickly said are not new in the country.

Writing on his traditional Friday statement titled

"Turning the Heat on Zimbabwe's PoT" Ncube said " Those that believe that the current civil disobedience and 'resistance' movement sweeping the nation are a new phenomenon in the Politics of Things (PoT) may need slight correction".

He said Movement for Democratic Change was born out of "popular resistance against ZANU PF political hegemony that dates back to 1999".

Ncube said "the question being asked by some in our body politic is: To what extent can the commendable efforts of #ThisFlag and #Tajamuka/Sesijikile in confronting Zanu-PF have an end game which will see the demise of ZANU PF? "What seems clear is that we appear to be entering unchartered waters in the history of our country. Only the bravest of the brave dare predict the outcomes".

He added" My suggestion is that now it is time not only to think and plan hard but to learn from comparative history and also to seek the advice of peaceful civil disobedience experts".

"Those who expect quick results from the efforts of #ThisFlag and #Tajamuka/Sesijikile have to study the democratic history of India, Serbia and Phillipines – to name just a few countries. "Juvenile enthusiasm and bravado on their own are not sufficient,"


He said as leader of MDC, "I can only be glad that #ThisFlag and #Tajamuka/Sesijikile have re-ignited the people's passion for freedom and democracy".
