Political analyst says ZANU-PF, has refined what he describes as a “politics of betrayal,”
Wellington Muzengeza, a political risk analyst and urban strategist, argues that Zimbabwe’s ruling party, ZANU-PF, has refined what he describes as a “politics of betrayal,” draping authoritarian rule in the legacy and symbolism of liberation.
Muzengeza further suggests that recent developments in Zimbabwe, show how liberation movements can transform into authoritarian systems, shifting from emancipatory ideals to entrenched practices of domination.
He also adds that South Africa’s African National Congress-led government has, in various ways, enabled such patterns.
He says in a troubling irony, is itself beginning to exhibit similar traits to those he associates with ZANU-PF.
