Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Self-exiled former ZANU PF Politburo member Jonathan Moyo has accused former Finance Minister Tendai Biti of cowardice following the latter\u2019s announcement that he was taking a sabbatical from politics.<\/p>\n

Moyo said opposition leaders in Zimbabwe tend to run away from responsibility.<\/p>\n

This comes after the former CCC leader Nelson Chamisa quit the party in January this year, alleging infiltration by ZANU PF, followed by Fadzayi Mahere and Allan Markham who resigned from Parliament a few days later.<\/p>\n

Posting on Twitter, Moyo said Biti is just like Chamisa, Mahere and Markham who \u201cbolted out\u201d and ran away from responsibility. He said:<\/p>\n

Tendai Biti is cut from the same cloth. Only some 60 or so days after he boldly declared that he was CCC Vice President elected by that party\u2019s congress and that he was \u201cgoing nowhere\u201d, now he says he is actually going somewhere after all; by taking \u201ctime out\u201d; taking a \u201csabbatical\u201d to go to Washington DC, of all places.
\nAnd he\u2019s saying this at a time when he\u2019s in fact due to take over \u2013 something he accepted to do when he knew at that time that he was due to go to the US by this fall \u2013 as CCC acting president under the \u2018rotational\u2019 arrangement they agreed to as the \u2018leadership collective\u2019 under the \u2018Gweru Resolutions\u2019.<\/p>\n

Effectively, like Chamisa, Mahere and Markham, Biti is bolting out. He is running away from leadership responsibility. This makes sense of their mantra that they \u2018need new leaders\u2019!<\/p>\n

Biti recently announced that he is temporarily stepping away from politics, despite earlier reports indicating that he was expected to assume the role of CCC president in rotation with the current leader, Welshman Ncube and Lynette Karenyi Kore.<\/p>\n

Speaking on HSTV\u2019s #FreeTalk show, Biti said he had withdrawn from politics to focus on other spaces but will remain driven to attain democratic change in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
