Finding a permanent political home not an easy road: Finding a permanent political party is not usually easy. Most Zimbabweans have been members of other parties before finally settling for one party permanently. For example, His Excellency, President Mugabe had to go through 3 parties before finally settling for the then ZANU. So in the late 1960s he went through African National Congress(ANC), National Democratic Party(NDP), ZAPU(Zimbabwe African Peoples Union) and then helped to form ZANU in 1963 which then became ZANU PF in 1987 after merging with PF ZAPU. The MDC-T Leader, former PM Tsvangirai used to be a ZANU PF member. Then he became an MDC member. Now he is an MDC-T member. The likes of former MP Sikhala used to be ZANU PF in his youth, then he helped to form the then MDC. Then he went with MDC- N. Then started MDC-99. Now he is back with MDC-T. In ZANU PF, some used to support Bishop Muzorehwa party. In the MDCs, some used to be ZANU PF supporters and some were ZANU PF members. The fact is things can change in politics and political parties are like bus vehicles. If you realise you are in the wrong bus and you are headed for the wrong direction, do you stay in that bus? Or if the bus dies beyond repair, do you stay in the bus? Certainly not, if you are a normal person. Myself, I have tried being a member of ZANU PF, MDC-N and then Dare but I realized i was in the wrong bus . The ZANU PF bus the driver would sometimes sleep whilst driving or he would just change direction abruptly and some passengers would cheer even when dangerous driving happened. As such I could not stay in such a dangerous bus where you can be thrown out of the moving bus if you oppose wrong things by the party from within. Then the MDC-N bus was too slow and would be like a bus which takes a week to go from Bulawayo to Harare instead of taking 4 or 5 hours. Then Dare bus was driven by an inexperienced driver who disturbingly drove without an L sign. So now, I am with the PDZ bus and looking at its steady speed, good condition and sober drivers and sober passengers so far (in PDZ we do not have one driver- we have many sub drivers just in case the main driver falls sick or becomes tired to drive) and PDZ its promising to be the right bus to the much needed Zimbabwe national destination of shared national prosperity, full democracy, total fairness and justice amongst Zimbabweans. Unfortunately, some people have mistaken my departure from wrong buses as political prostitution or flip flopping. Nothing could be further from the truth than that. There is no political prostitution or flip flopping in leaving a bus going in the wrong direction or where the driver is drunk, driving recklessly or the bus dies beyond repair. I invite you Cdes and Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen to study the PDZ bus and make your judgement. Consider this bus musaite stuck mumabhazi anofira muzhira.
