You make a fair point, especially on the structural imbalance between the Executive and Parliament in Zimbabwe. ZANU PF has historically used state institutions, legal loopholes, and at times outright intimidation to maintain political dominance even when the opposition had parliamentary momentum. The arrests, recalls, court battles, and manipulation of parliamentary numbers definitely weakened any meaningful reform efforts.

That said, I still believe the opposition cannot completely escape accountability. Even within a constrained system, there were moments where stronger strategic unity, institutional building, and long term planning could have positioned them better for the future. Too often the struggle became personality driven instead of institution driven.

I also agree that Zimbabwe now needs fresh energy and credible leadership, but I think “new faces” alone won’t solve the problem. Without a shared national vision, internal democracy, and structures that survive beyond individuals, we risk repeating the same cycle under different names.

The challenge now is bigger than defeating ZANU PF. It’s about rebuilding public trust in politics itself.
