A political commentator Vince Musewe has said the evidence of the current goings on in the political divide proffers that the Zimbabwe Republic Police is serving the ruling Zanu PF in relation to the political skirmishes unfolding at Norton ahead of the October 22 by- elections.

Musewe said Zimbabwe has had 12 elections since 1980 and these elections have failed to change the status quo and asked as to what then will be different in 2018?

"The recent violence assisted by the police in Norton clearly shows that our police is there to protect Zanu (PF) interests. We need a new formula for 2018," he said.

"The momentum towards coalitions has been somewhat disturbed by the poaching of members from coalition partners. How can parties talk coalition while they are effectively sabotaging each other in the pretext of negotiations? Of course Zimbabweans are free to join any political party they wish to join, there is no doubt over that."

He said however, where parties are in negotiations one expects a modicum of respect and ethical behaviour but it is clear that this does not exist in the political arena.

"It's a dog eat dog approach. Can such people lead Zimbabwe and create the Zimbabwe we want? I sincerely doubt that," he said.
