The saying there is no smoke without fire is reinforced by the shona vernecular saying ”anyumwa bere nderake”(Whoever gets startled by what doesnt matter to him shows it matters to him).This after ZANU PF scoffed at MDC-Alliance’s remarks on the ruling party following the victory
of Zambia’s President-elect Hakainde Hichilema in the recently held elections saying the
opposition party’s conduct exhibits cardinal political immaturity.
The opposition party has been celebrating that its brother an opposition party defeated a whole state, friends to Zimbabwe’s current government which was lead by outgoing president Edgar Lungu. Now Zanu PF seem to be in panic mode according to analysts as they accuse MDC Alliance President Nelson Chamisa of abusing social media platforms
seeking to gain cheap political capital from Mr Hichilema’s win.
Zanu Pf spokesperson Cde Simon Khaya-Moyo said Zambia and
Zimbabwe were sovereign States who needed no external interference when holding their
elections.
“MDC-A’s conduct following recently held national elections in Zambia demonstrates
cardinal political immaturity. The revolutionary Zanu-PF party is fully aware that
elections were held by a sister sovereign state of Zambia, that great country. No outside
political party could have participated, let alone the MDC-Alliance,” he said.
Cde Khaya-Moyo urged the opposition party to keep off elections of sovereign States.
“Zimbabwe held its harmonised elections of 2018 and MDC-A are still licking their wounds
of defeat. More is to come in 2023,” he said.
Cde Khaya-Moyo said the ruling party’s position was fully reflected in the congratulatory
message sent to Zambia’s President-elect Hichilema.
“The revolutionary Zanu PF’s position in relation to the recently held elections in Zambia
are fully reflected in the congratulatory message sent by the President, First Secretary and
Head of State Cde Mnangagwa to President-elect Hakainde Hichilema for the resounding
victory.
“There is no need to waste time on the MDC-A antics,” he said.
Analysts however believe whatever Khaya Moyo has to say the bottom line is an autocratic leadership which is likened to Khaya’s Zanu PF government was removed by friends to the MDC Alliance and indeed every dog has got its day.
