GNU one man party: Mugabe gives COPAC deadline


Zimbabwe Government of National Unity



 Mugabe has given the constitution making body (COPAC) a deadline to finish drafting the constitution. It may well be agreed or debated that Zimbabwe is being governed by three parties under the GNU, unfortunately though most of the decisions are made by a single party. The decision to give COPAC he deadline should not be from one person but rather from the government governing Zimbabwe not  a party. MDC T and MDC Mutambara should also agree on the decision, they should be considered as they are representatives of the people. Thus ignoring them simply means that some members of the public are annihilated. The constitution making process affects all the three parties, and  their existence after the elections will be determined by the constitution.The elections are there to determine centrality of power and the dissolution of the GNU . It not only affects the leaders of the three parties but also the general public. Thus the other parties should be consulted as they are representatives of Zimbabweans in the country. One party does not represent all Zimbabweans, rather Zimbabwe has become a multi party country (in theory of course) but this multi party system should be enforced not only in speech but also in the actions.
