Temba Mliswa says those who pin hopes on factional fights in ZANU-PF are foolish, because there are no such factional fights and President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his deputy Constantino Chiwenga are actually “inseparables.”

“Anyone who ever dreams that there are factions in ZANU-PF is a pathetic dreamer. ED and Chiwenga are inseparable.

“To pin any hopes on perceived factions in ZANU-PF is not only retrogressive, it’s folly,” Mliswa said.

The talkative independent legislator for Norton also poked fun at the majority of MDC MPs who are lawyers yet could not deliver victory to their party and ended up as backbench warmers.

“Going forward, a new culture must be established. We cannot continue voting on partisan lines. It must be about competence.

“For example, look at the MDC, how many lawyers does that party have in Parliament? They should be over 17. Sadly, most of them are mere bench warmers.”
