Takalani Matibe, who recently graduated from the Chitepo School of Ideology at Dadaya National Youth Training Centre in Zvishavane after undergoing Marxist indoctrination, among other teachings he decided to join the the ruling party, ZANU PF.
The politician was a Member of Parliament for Chegutu west constituency from 2008 to 2013 under Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) banner.
In last year’s general election, Matibe contested the Chegutu West parliamentary election as an independent candidate and lost to Citizens Coalition for Change candidate who later recalled by Sengezo Tshabangu.
Speaking to NewZimbabwe.com on Wednesday, Matibe said his shift was motivated by the realisation that Mnangagwa and Zanu PF were “unstoppable and ushering infrastructural developments while the opposition was disintegrating.”
“My decision to join Zanu PF was motivated by the fact that Zanu PF is unconquerable, and no amount of opposition political activism can dislodge it for a very long time. Besides, there is no longer an opposition party to talk about in Zimbabwe.
“So, instead of opposing for the sake of it, l felt the need to join Zanu PF under the Second Republic led by President Mnangagwa who is building roads, dams and other infrastructure which wasn’t the case during the late former president Robert Mugabe’s era,” said Matibe.
