Zanu-PF decision to endorse 92-year old President Mugabe for 2018 Elections is pure madness: War veterans

The war veterans have broken ranks with the rest of Zanu-PF,  announcing that they will not back President Mugabe for the 2018 Elections.  In fact, the war veterans have indicated that they will be consulting to find a solution.  They decried the decision to endorse President Mugabe at the 2016 Zanu PF annual Conference describing the decision as pure madness.

Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans’ Association (ZNLWVA) secretary-general Victor Matemadanda  speaking to NewsDay said:

However, we are very clear that the madness that came out of the Zanu PF conference early this month cannot be supported by any right-thinking Zimbabwean.

No Zimbabwean with their head screwed properly to their body will repose their trust for five years in an old man who will be 100 years old when their term ends.

…It is a waste of time to support a 94-year-old as a presidential candidate and if Zanu PF really wants to continue to lead the country, it must wake up as a matter of urgency and force a change of guard at the very top. They must allow the new leader time to consolidate and set their vision before the elections in 2018. Our prediction is that 2018 will be even worse than 2008 for Zanu PF unless something dramatic happens in the next 12 months.
