'The whole future of Zimbabwe is now focused on removing one man'

Former Regional Programme Advisor for the UNDP's Africa Governance and Public Administration Programme as well as Officer in Charge (ad interim) of the UNDP Africa Governance Team Brian Tamuka Kagoro says he is concerned that the whole future of Zimbabwe is now focused on removing one man instead of creating a clear Alternative.
