Opposition in paralysis : Komichi

STAFF WRITER

Opposition politics is in a state of paralysis and requires a strong leader who is capable of uniting members to form a cohesive force that can challenge the ruling  governing party, ZANU-PF,  former MDC vice-president Morgan Komichi has said.
The opposition is in disarray after Nelson Chamisa recently resigned from the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) saying the party had been “contaminated” and “hijacked” by the government.

“The state of the opposition at the moment is a result of incompetent leadership because the key functions of a leader are to unite the party like a shepherd who has to keep a flock together,” Komichi said.
He said when the other part of the flock leaves the party, it is attacked by lions and in this particular issue the lion is ZANU PF therefore as a shepherd, opposition leaders should keep the flock united.
There are some reports that
Bulawayo mayor David Coltart is engaging  both the current and former Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC)  to close ranks.
“There is a process of re-grouping that is taking place, efforts are being made in most parts of the country for all people to come together,” Komichi said.
