In a dramatic tale of mismanagement, ZANU PF’s grand plans have failed again and again. The main reason? No political will to make important changes. These changes, like stopping corruption and respecting the constitution, are necessary for real progress. But ZANU PF’s failure to make these changes has ruined many big plans, including the National Development Strategy (NDS).

The real problem is the lack of political will. ZANU PF makes big promises but doesn’t deliver. They also don’t have enough money to make their plans work. Their strategies look good on paper but fail because the government doesn’t have the money to support them.

On the other hand, the opposition truly cares about the people. They focus on accountability and real governance. This difference in priorities means ZANU PF’s plans lack the strength to succeed, leading to the failure of the NDS.

There is also a paradox. ZANU PF’s strategies, which are supposed to help society, actually threaten their hold on power. Plans for job creation and food security could weaken the party’s control. If these plans succeed, they would need more accountability and transparency, which ZANU PF doesn’t want. So, the NDS and similar plans are doomed to fail.

The lack of Foreign Direct Investment and ZANU PF’s deep-rooted corruption ensure their strategies can’t succeed. International Financial Institutions, bound by sanctions due to ZANU PF’s violations, cannot help. This guarantees the NDS will fail.

The opposition shows a different way to success. Their story proves the power of political will. During the Government of National Unity, the opposition showed that good leadership could uplift lives and revive the economy. This was a clear success, highlighting the opposition’s dedication to real progress.

A big reason for the NDS’s failure is the lack of consultation and inclusivity. Ignoring key stakeholders and interest groups makes the strategy weak and disconnected. Unlike the opposition’s bottom-up approach, ZANU PF’s top-down method alienates people, ensuring the NDS’s collapse.

ZANU PF’s chronic lack of political will, combined with corruption and self-interest, means their strategies are doomed. The NDS’s failure is a warning about what happens when essential reforms are ignored. Only by committing to real progress, accountability, and inclusivity can Zimbabwe hope for lasting success.
