THEMATIC OVERVIEW
Theme: Uncharted Territory
Current political dynamics have ushered the country in general and Zanu-PF in particular into
uncharted territory with unprecedented developments occurring. The humiliating water
cannon attack on war veterans who for long have been a strong vanguard for the ruling ZanuPF had no precedence. As things fall apart in the party at the altar of unending factionalism,
traditional strongholds of the party are being undermined by various levels of schisms in the
party, as such this has plunged the revolutionary party and by extension the country at large
into uncharted territory.
Movement for Democratic Change is also experiencing uncharted territory with the
emergence of Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF) party on the political landscape. It used to be
the dominant opposition party, but ZimPF seems poised to take that polar opposition position.
