The attacks on Professor Jonathan Moyo for now supporting President Mnangagwa miss a fundamental point: the greatest leaders in history evolved their positions as circumstances changed.
Churchill crossed party lines twice when national interest demanded. Mandela negotiated with his jailers. Lincoln shifted on emancipation.
Professor Moyo was a fierce critic, yes. That was then. Today, under the Second Republic, Zimbabwe has grown from a US$20 billion to a US$52 billion economy. Inflation is stabilized. Infrastructure is visible nationwide. Peace prevails.
Is it "flip-flopping" to acknowledge when things improve? Or is it intellectual honesty?
Those who demand permanent opposition regardless of results are not defending principle - they are defending perpetual negativity.
Zimbabwe is moving forward. Supporting progress is not inconsistency. It is integrity.
