Farai Dziva|Respected political analyst Dr Pedzisai Ruhanya says even if Emmerson Mnangagwa meets the the political parties that signed the dialogue agreement a thousand times nothing will materialize.

“IF LEGALITY is the fundamental ingredient of LEGITIMACY why is ED and ZANU PF struggling to run Zim after the Constitutional Court ruled in his favour over electoral dispute?

Legality is a subset of legitimacy; what matters most is POLITICAL LEGITIMACY, Court of Public Opinion.”

“If Mnangagwa meets Ruhanya today, the political and economic problems in Zimbabwe will not be resolved.

The fact of the matter is that I am not a critical stakeholder in the governance/political dispute in Zimbabwe. ED can meet those political parties 1000 times but hapana chobuda.

In The Return of the Political, Chantal Mouffe(1993)argues that liberal democracy misunderstands the problems of ethnic, religious and nationalist conflicts because of its inadequate conception of politics.”
