Zimbabwe is reeling under the brunt of political polarisation and electoral hangover. The ripple effects are hard hitting the ordinary man on the street and scuttling any efforts to revive the economy.

Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane’s anointment as leader of that opposition political party in 2015 made history, as it marked the party’s transformation from a ‘white’ political party to one whose new leader shared similar experiences to those of the majority voters.

On 30 July 2018, Zimbabweans went to the polls looking for their best foot forward. While the other 22 Presidential aspirants laid bare their intentions during electioneering, the incumbent and ultimate winner of the election, President Emmerson Mnangagwa, had an opportunity show the electorate his vision  of a better Zimbabwe. For the first time since independence, opposition political parties and independent candidates could campaign without any hindrances. President Mnangagwa is on record saying that he wanted Zimbabweans to be united in their diversity and as such candidates in the July 2018 polls were free to canvas for support from anyone they think would vote for them.

The resolve by President Emmerson Mnangagwa, for all political parties in the country to come together and come up with a framework for national dialogue should eventually unite political parties towards the agenda of national building.

National dialogue is an increasingly popular tool for conflict resolution and political transformation. Normally, it can broaden debate regarding a country’s trajectory beyond the usual elite decision makers.

It is such a shame to note that some Zimbabweans rejoice over the ailment of their fellow Zimbabwean. Government detractors are making noise on social media about Vice President Constantino Chiwenga`s medical consultation at a South Africa hospital indicating that he must have consulted at a local hospital in Zimbabwe. Really one has to bear in mind that a person has the right to choose a hospital he or she likes.

“Government must create jobs for us, we want our hospitals to be top notch medical facilities, we want to eat what we want anytime, there is no bread on the shelves, all our roads should be tarred, have complex road/rail crossings, bullet trains and airports at district level”. These are the sentiments that one hears every day in streets, kombis and places of recreation.

It has been about three weeks, since the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) called for protests against Government, which turned out to be catastrophic. Most people, ordinary citizens, business people, school children and affected security forces, the police in particular, are yet to recover from the misfortune.
