Zanu PF created a system difficult to remove- Musewe

A political commentator Vince Musewe has said the ruling Zanu PF in its more than 36 years of its dictatorship rule has created a system which will be difficult for any one to remove or change.
He quoted Edwards Deming's remarks who said "Every system is perfectly designed to get the result that it does."
"To create new results it's therefore critical to change the system. There is not doubt in my mind that without a systems approach to understanding both our political and economic challenges, we will unfortunately spend energy and resources dealing with the symptomatic results of a fundamentally flawed socio- economic political system which can never create the results we want," Musewe said.
"On the political front Zanu PF has created a system that will be difficult to remove through elections simply because they control the outcomes and the agents responsible for the processes. Substantial and fundamental reforms are therefore necessary before we can expect new results. That's a fact that many are ignoring but this will be fatal."
He said on the economic front we have state capture by a predatory elite who benefit and become gate keepers in a kleptocracy propped up by patronage and corruption.
"That too must be destroyed first if we are to develop. These challenges will not be addressed by elections but through revolutionary trans formative change led by a new breed of thinkers and doers," he said.
"Short of the above we are merely hoping for change to come on its own but unfortunately it won't. The solution is simple. We need disruptive political and social innovation which crushes the old system and builds a new one. That can only be done if we elect a new non partisan independent President who is unhindered by the old paradigm of political patronage and intrigue. A person who has a deep understanding of the root causes of our problems, why we are where we are and what needs to be done. It's not impossible!"
