Msipa has no agenda

The former ZANU PF politiburo member and Midlands governor, Cephas Msipa is hallucinating and living in the world of fantasy and make belief. How can the former and elder member of ZANU PF turn against his colleague? The man is not sincere and he is trying to fool the electorate. Msipa is wrong when he refers to President Mugabe as arrogant.
Msipa is alleging that ZANU PF will not reform itself unless out of power. Zimbabweans should never be satisfied with mortgaging their struggle to people of dubious credentials. "Msipa is a social misfit! That is the reason why he has failed to build and consolidate a following with the electorate as he is viewed as someone who is power hungry, myopic and lacking in the national vision. It sounds quite barbaric for Msipa to allege that the elections in Zimbabwe have been militarized. Somebody please tell this old man that the military is not involved in elections but there is an independent body known as the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) that administers the polls, so Msipa should not take us for a ride.
Politicians should stop lying to the electorate and start telling the truth. Msipa should not think that he can fool us; he should rather be busy recruiting people to join his little-known party. The man is saying to be talking to progressive parties while he snubbed their invitation. This becomes a fascinating paradox as he is calling for their support in his endeavour for the so-called security sector reforms. This shows that the man has run out of ideas and is desperately seeking political relevance. It is a known fact that Zimbabwe has been fulfilling one of the tenets of democracy; that is holding elections at prescribed intervals.
These elections have been held under free and fair conditions and they have been internationally recognized. Msipa is a clear and present danger, not only to the nation through blatant misinformation and disinformation, but to himself because he has come to believe his warped propaganda. He is simply unfit to lead a nondescript party, let alone to govern a country with such a rich history as Zimbabwe. His perception of self as being imbued with leadership qualities is as laughable and misplaced as it is pitifully frightening.
It is a fact that despite himself, Msipa expresses admiration and envy for the leadership qualities of President Robert Mugabe. His attempts at slighting President Mugabe's economic policies are a question of sour grapes. Simply put, Msipa is a lightweight on issues of economic importance.
It should be known that MDC-T, Zimbabwe People First (Zim PF) and other opposition parties are struggling to form coalition forces to fight ZANU PF that continues to successfully defend itself in all elections since independence. Thus the opposition coalition always suffers a stillbirth.
