Bitterness consumes a person and it gets to a point where everything rubs them the wrong way. They will always feel defensive, moody and have frequent anger outbursts borne out of degeneration of personality after years of nastiness. This applies to MDC Vice Chairperson Tendai Biti, who is not liked by many even in his party. This follows Biti’s failure to secure nomination to any post from the opposition MDC structures in North America, ahead of the party's Congress set for May 24, this writer is sure the trend will continue as MDC structures treat Biti, with a long stick.

If there is anything the MDC approach to politics has managed to do overtime, it is to make Zimbabweans poorer particularly that party’s supporters. The avid desire, by Nelson Chamisa to shoot down any government’s initiative has worked very well in bringing misery to his supporters and other like-minded opposition elements. That is the irony of the much touted ‘jecha’ phenomenon which Chamisa said is akin to putting sand in maize meal ‘sadza’.
