What unfolded in the MDC-T on Saturday is a triumph of democracy. Opposition politics is very essential in a democracy, only if it is progressive. Zimbabwe has for a long time suffered a grave dearth of such progressive opposition politics. The democratic space in the MDC-T was gradually being closed by certain people who hold a false sense of entitlement to the party and had created an illusion of inviolability around themselves. Ndabaningi Sithole also held the same sense of entitlement to Zanu. He nevertheless parted ways with his progressive subordinates and emerged a loser. History will repeat itself in the MDC-T.
The brave move to suspend the former MDC-T leader and his bunch of sycophants will hopefully open a new chapter in the opposition political landscape.
