Crazy Madhuku rapped for political opportunism NCA chairman Professor Lovemore Madhuku has been accused of opportunism in trying to be all things to different people in a bid to access donor funds.The long-serving NCA chairman, on Saturday, declared his organisation a political party which he dubbed a social democratic movement on one hand, and Pan African on another. In the next breath, the party was dubbed nationalistic showing shocking lack of ideological congruency in the interim leader’s utterances. Political analyst Mr Tinei Nyatsambo accused Professor Madhuku of trying to appeal to European donors by claiming to be social democratic, and Zimbabweans by laying claim to nationalism and Pan Africanism when from inception his organisation pursued a reactionary agenda. “The NCA is trying to ambush Zimbabweans by claiming to be a nationalist party that pursues the values of Pan– Africanism, yet its grand agenda was to capitalise on the weaknesses of the ailing opposition MDC-T to access Western donor funds,’’ Mr Nytsambo said. Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe secretary general, Mr Raymond Majongwe, yesterday said the NCA would face an uphill task coming as it did at a time Zanu-PF was at its strongest. “Lets see how these guys will run the next mile. Politics is a marathon race and not a relay. Zanu-PF was formed in August 1963, but it took it 17 years to form a Government. If they think they will form the next Government in 2018, they must be dreaming. They must be prepared for some of their members to be consumed by time, experience and other forces,” Mr Majongwe said. “If Madhuku comes in pursuing a Zimbabwean and African agenda — being anti-neo imperialism, expressing solidarity with Africanism, supporting the values pursued by African legends such as President Mugabe, Kwame Nkrumah (Ghana), Muammar Gaddafi, he might have support. “We want Africa to be led by Africans who hold and support African values, who look at Africa as their home, pursue views propagated from African point of view and this is what is lacking in the MDC-T,” he said.
