In the ongoing political saga, Nelson Chamisa has taken a firm stance, adamantly refusing to participate in the controversial Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD). The initiative has been critiqued as ZANU PF’s desperate grasp at power. Other political figures, including Mwonzora and even Chamisa’s daughter, have been enticed by the proposition. However, Chamisa remains steadfast, refusing to entertain what he sees as a thinly veiled attempt at legitimization by an otherwise defunct entity.

ZANU PF, renowned for its questionable governance, has been found wanting in multiple facets of leadership. It has shown an abysmal failure at constructing a unified party-state, aligning with the losing side during the Cold War, and displaying an utter inability to establish a sustainable socialist structure. ZANU PF’s notorious desire to dismantle opposition through various means has consistently fallen flat. The party’s dream of creating a solitary party state appears to be nothing more than a futile aspiration. A singular party state would merely serve as an avenue for further unaccountability, enabling its members to exploit national resources unabatedly.

Both POLAD and the unity agreement share striking similarities, primarily arising in the wake of grave human rights violations. In both instances, citizens were terrorized by a biased, politicized military force intent on suppressing perceived threats to ZANU PF’s illegitimate hold on power. In the aftermath of these heinous acts, ZANU PF offered patchwork settlements, mainly aimed at quashing these threats and further solidifying their misguided vision of a one-party state. Thus, the unity accord mirrors the POLAD initiative, sans ethnic cleansing.

POLAD has been viewed as a Trojan horse, a vehicle designed to grant political legitimacy to an undeserving party. Unfortunately, the highly partisan and militarized courts, severely under ZANU PF’s influence, have failed to provide political legitimacy. Through POLAD, a democratic monstrosity, inconsequential political parties were hoodwinked into ZANU PF’s sphere of influence. The goal was to coerce Chamisa into their ranks, thereby extending an air of legitimacy to the otherwise crippled party.

The situation has now devolved to the point where ZANU PF’s deputy has implored the church to persuade Chamisa into joining POLAD. The desperation raises the question: Why this fixation on Chamisa? Is ZANU PF, in its unconstitutional state, realizing its obsolescence? Are the puppet parties like Mwonzora’s not enough? Could this be ZANU PF’s way of showing fear of the looming 2023 elections?

In conclusion, Chamisa remains steadfast, unwilling to succumb to ZANU PF’s manipulative tactics. His resolve serves as a beacon of hope for many, a symbol of resistance against the illegitimate power that continues to loom over Zimbabwe. The political chessboard remains in flux, with the 2023 elections looming ominously in the background.
