Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>United Kingdom-based Zimbabwe constitutional law expert and political analyst Alex Magaisa has urged the opposition Citizens\u2019 Coalition for Change national leadership not to take citizens for granted but communicate clearly to prevent uncertainty, confusion and panic.<\/p>\n

This comes after CCC vice president Welshman Ncube was pictured with former MDC-T vice president Thokozani Khupe and former MDC-T organising secretary Abednico Bhebhe seemingly emerging from a meeting.<\/p>\n

The picture has been circulating on social media platforms since Tuesday, prompting some opposition political activists to speculate that the three could be working together, having been senior members of the original MDC at the turn of the Millenium.<\/p>\n

CCC, however, said Ncube, Khupe and Bhebhe\u2019s meeting was a private meeting that had nothing to do with the party\u2019s programmes.<\/p>\n

In a Twitter thread, Magaisa, a Kent University law professor and former advisor to a Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, said CCC leaders risk can derail the movement if they lose focus and make mistakes. Pindula News publishes Magaisa\u2019s post below:<\/p>\n

1. The bond of trust between political elites in the cockpit and the passengers is very important. It is fragile and must be handled with care. People don\u2019t want to be taken for granted or to have their emotions on a merry-go-round. Explain your movements.<\/p>\n

2. True, sometimes those in the cockpit must make tough decisions as they steer the plane. But communication with the passengers remains important, lest there\u2019s uncertainty, confusion and panic. Lack of communication or half messages lead to speculation which is equally unhelpful.<\/p>\n

3. When you make important decisions, explain to the people what\u2019s going on and why. People want to believe their leaders have the wisdom to make the right decisions. But don\u2019t leave in a position where they must speculate. Communicate. Communicate. Communicate.<\/p>\n

4. The CCC has the ball at its feet & everyone wants it. That\u2019s why there\u2019s a flurry of propaganda & other destabilisation efforts from the regime. But the Yellow Train is moving. The only people that can derail it are the leaders of the CCC if they lose focus & make mistakes.<\/p>\n

5. Whatever decisions they take, they must be smart, well thought out & well-timed. An otherwise good decision made at the wrong time can have terrible consequences. But above all, don\u2019t keep your people in the dark. Communicate with them. Show them some respect.<\/p>\n

6. If you see your people speculating too much or asking \u201cWhat\u2019s going on here?\u201d it suggests you\u2019re not communicating well with them. It\u2019s not a good habit. Keep your people onside by communicating well with them. If it\u2019s good news they will support you. If not, hear them out.<\/p>\n
