State media remains adamant that Simba Makoni made the wrong move. Today's article spoke about how political heavy weights in ZANU PF who wanted to come out and support him felt cheated to the chase when Makoni made an "imature" announcement of his candidacy.
Madhuku has been quoted by the same paper as saying his coalition of members will not support Makoni, but would rather side with Tsvangirai as the viable conduit of change.
Amazing, isnt it? Just a few days ago sections of the Crisis in Zimbabwe coalition celebrated the coming of the new man onto the fighting table. Can be that we are looking at two sides of the civic sector coming in and attempting to hold sway.
I am a bit concerned about the open declarations of support by purportedly non governmental institutions at this stage of the fight. Anything can go, and go for either good or bad at that. There is need for the civic movement to desist from trying to influence public sway by commenting on an issue that ultimately will rest with the millions of voters back at home.
I trust that Madhuku and the others who follow him have a good picture about who will win. Not too long ago the man who is now advocating the support of Tsvangirai was saying elections were doomed, ZANU PF will win.

Then again, Madhuku has been in the struggle for some time now. He has brushed shoulders with the high and mighty. He should know.
Ah well.
Ah well.
