“I think Mugabe only feels secure when he is pursuing his opponents, and his strategy is not to give them any breathing space to organize against him.”
“He is saying what everybody has been saying but the real crux is whether he will get rid of non-performers.

He needs people who can stand up to him and with the resolve to push real political and economic reforms.”
“Whichever faction prevails, I think it is a lose-lose situation and it makes the future bleaker for those that want to see a new political dispensation in Zimbabwe.”
