1] Dr Tsvangirai "“I don't want to walk to State House over the dead bodies of fellow Zimbabweans"

He didnt.

Fast forward to 2020/21,some MDC supporters:

"We wish Tsvangirai was still around. Chamisa is weak & soft. Tsvangirai would have led an uprising".

Strange stuff.
2] Actually, by the time Dr MT died,calls for him to step aside had massively grown.

One of the reasons being that the MDC had become "soft" under his leadership, after falling to translate winning elections into getting State power.

Some called for new strategies & Leadership
3] Anyways, just wanted to share an opinion on a topic I had decided to sit out on.

The other strange comparison has been on Bobi Wine & Chamisa.

Many seemed oblivious to the fact that there is an election in Uganda, not in Zimbabwe.

Bobi was just campaigning.(impressively so)
4] So strange were the comparisons that Chamisa was being roasted for not "learning from Bobi".

It was lost to many,that in 2018, the MDC had the most wide spread campaigning,since its formation.

NC actually travelled & addressed more rallies than any other politician ever has.
5] Now the Ugandan election has been rigged.

The margin is way higher been Bobi & M7, than it was between NC & ED.

Interestingly, it would seem like, as per some projects, Bobi's Parly reps are performing better than their Presidential candidate.
Unlike what happened in Zim.
6] Put into context, Bobi went into the polls with most of his Leadership & his own wife under siege

He strategically devised an online election result, polling station based tracking system & Yoweri switched off the internet.

He didnt/couldnt mount a political response.
7] Just wanted to expose how some comparisons were premature & baseless.

However, the only difference is what will be done now!

I once spoke about "winning an election that cannot be won".

Bobi is at this phase now, where his legacy might wither or permanently leave a mark.
8] It's public knowledge that elections can be won, even in dictatorships.

The only difference being on whether or not stakeholders will allow the winner to govern.

This is why Opposition parties have to be structurally strong to win AND protect their win.
9] That is why I am in absolute support of the @OneMillionZW

The MDC has to be structurally effective across the country, to politically respond to their programs, pre & post elections.

This is why the State keeps persecuting NC's closest allies.
It fears this self-organization
10] For me personally, the time to watch Uganda and Bobi, is now!

Everything else was somewhat certain & definite.

What happens now will define the direction the new African Leadership is taking, to rid the continent of Dictators.

Bobi has to conquer.
He has to!

enkosi!!
