Former Finance Minister Tendai Biti attempts political resurrection through his makeover of the little-known Forum for Constitutional Protection into a fresh political movement. Political watchers brand the effort as another futile scramble for relevance from a fading opposition figure. The ex-MDC heavyweight teams up with obscure allies Gwaranda and Gomba while lacking any meaningful grassroots connection. Critics argue the formation offers zero substance or clear direction for frustrated Zimbabwean voters. Analysts dismiss the venture as recycled politics from someone running out of viable options.
Biti served as Finance Minister during the coalition government from 2009 through 2013 but drew criticism for unpaid civil servants and...
Party bosses slammed the door shut on business mogul Kudakwashe Tagwirei after his botched attempt to muscle into Zanu PF's inner circle backfired spectacularly. Secretary-general Obert Mpofu fired off a stern circular laying down the law about who gets to join the powerful Central Committee. The document spelled out tough requirements including five years of provincial leadership experience and proper recommendations from district committees. Tagwirei failed to meet these basic standards despite his massive financial influence within ruling party circles. His supporters had tried pushing him through based purely on his deep pockets rather than political credentials.
Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga personally booted the wealthy...
