POLAD is a loose coalition of small time politicians that had a vote share of less than 1% in the last election. As a result of greediness and selfishness, these small parties are being paid by Mnangagwa and Zanu pf to pretend to be the official opposition in Zimbabwe. They are not an extension of parliament or anything else to do with the state of Zimbabwe. They are merely a group of chancers who are spending people’s taxes on hotels and trips they have to make in order to get their pictures taken with Mnangagwa.
Recently, this shameless mob was gifted with Isuzu 4X4 vehicles by Mnangagwa so that they continue this circus of theirs. All this is happening while people are dying in hospitals for a lack of ventilators and many important medication which is non existent in all hospitals for lack of ‘money’. The people in POLAD didn’t have problem receiving these big cars knowing that this is money that could have saved lives in the hospitals and this just shows how evil this POLAD . President Nelson Chamisa of the MDC Alliance , which is the only genuine opposition party refused to be entangled in this POLAD .
POLAD is playing a huge part in giving a fake impression that Zimbabwe has democracy where opposition members are free to participate in the politics of the country. The fact of the matter is that the true opposition in Zimbabwe, MDC ALLIANCE has essentially been forced underground because of the arrests and imprisonment of anyone who questions the legitimacy of the Mnangagwa’s government which came in via a military coup and a rigged election that was further marred with violence and killing of civilians.
POLAD has had it easy for far too long and as a passionate MDCA activists I say enough is enough. We need to do something about POLAD. I suggest that everywhere they go they should be met with public disapproval. If we can’t demonstrate against these political opportunists, what chances do we have of removing the beast that is Zanu pf?
