The time has come for you to
really sit down and ponder the future of this country and your role in its
revival.
There are people, even within the MDC, who have allegedly
called on you to resign or be fired.
Whether you resign or not is
entirely up to you and your party members, but I would like to put on
record the roots of my disappointment with you in particular and with your
party in general.
I have finally finished studying your economic
blueprint RESTART and I am afraid your economics department is trying to
pull a fast one on Zimbabweans.
Here’s why: let us for a moment
assume that President Robert Mugabe exits the stage and the ruling ZANU PF
meets the same fate at the polls as the Tories did in Britain when Tony
Blair came to power.
This would see you and your party running the
country, yes. But more important, it would also provide an unequalled
opportunity to shape Zimbabwe into a uniquely successful powerhouse in
Africa. Your economic programme, however, lacks ambition in this respect.
RESTART exposes the fact that your party lacks vision, which is the one
thing we need sorely if this country is to realise its full potential.
Your programme seeks to take us back to the artifical prosperity
of the mid-1990s, when donor money and funds from the Bretton Woods
institutions fuelled a superficial boom in Zimbabwe that can never be
sustainable no matter who is in power. This is my biggest disappointment
with the MDC.
Denford Magora,
Harare.
