Father Zimbabwe’s Vision On Unity
December 15, 2020
The desire for unity was alive in both ZANU-PF, led by the late former President Robert Mugabe and PF-ZAPU under the late Vice President Dr Joshua Nkomo through the revolutionary movements’ understanding of the meaning of collective struggle, bringing the two parties to append to an accord took more than political will.
It took dedication on both parties and their representatives as well as other mediators beginning from October 2, 1985 to achieve the peace that Zimbabweans enjoy today.
Then Prime Minister Mugabe and Dr Nkomo met 10 times between October 1985 and December 1987, with the final meeting taking place on December 10 at Parliament Building before the signing of the Unity Accord on December 22.

The political opposition in Zimbabwe, particularly the MDC, is stuck in the middle: between making news headlines and making reform headways.
This is not new.
Being stuck between making news headlines and making reform headways, has been the bane of opposition politics in Zimbabwe as far back as one cares to remember.
By “making news headlines”, I mean engaging in fleeting issues to politick and pander to the gallery of popular sentiments and political slogans of the day, which are bereft of constitutional or political reforms.
And by “making reform headways”, I mean taking concrete steps to exploit historic moments that, fortuitous circumstance, throw up opportunities that have the potential for major constitutional and political reforms.
