Exiled former minister Professor Jonathan Moyo has blasted Zimbabwe’s political culture, declaring that the country’s leadership battles have been reduced to nothing more than “noise and drama.”
In a hard-hitting thread tagged #Leadership101, Moyo said aspiring leaders are wasting time tearing down opponents instead of proving their own worth through tangible achievements and values.
“Leadership is about deeds and values that speak for themselves,” Moyo wrote. “The fact that someone is a bad leader does not make you good. You may very well be as bad, if not worse.”
Moyo argued that Zimbabweans deserve leaders who inspire confidence by delivering real change to communities, not those preoccupied with pointing out the moral and political failures of their rivals.
“The bottom line,” he declared, “is that if you really want to be in power, you must show it by doing good things for the people. Everything else is just drama.”
