Well, Dr Simba Makoni has been described as a “political prostitute” leaving Zanu PF party and standing as an independent candidate in the coming Zimbabwe elections.
Speaking to ZBC – News on the occasion of his 84th birthday, President Robert Mugabe said, Makoni’s method of seeking the highest office in the land was “absolutely disgraceful” because he doesn’t have a party.

“What has happened is absolutely disgraceful. I didn’t think kuti Makoni after all the experience could behave like the way he did and in a naive way too yekungosadharara kuti ndinonzi Simba Makoni.
Haana kana party, asi vanhhu huyayi kwandiri mundide ndinoshamisa. I’m like a magnet, come to me and I’m there to lead you.” NO! You go to the people and the people find you.

“So I have compared him to a prostitute. A prostitute could have stood also achiti ini ndine vangu varume varimu MDC vamwe varimu Zanu PF, hapana party isina varume vangu inini, saka neniwo ndoenda ku nomination. But you see a prostitute could have done better than Makoni because she has clients.” President Robert Mugabe said.

There has been a lot of talk ever since Dr Simba Makoni announced that he will contest in the coming Zimbabwe presidential elections. There has been a lot of uncertainty, the announcement by Dr Simba Makoni seems to have confused some people. Do they trust him (Makoni) standing as an independent candidate. Does he have the support that he says he has? What are the chances of an independent being elected the next president of Zimbabwe?

There is no doubt that as a person Dr Makoni commands a lot of respect in Zimbabwe and also in the international community.
What is it that Zimbabweans expect from the next president?

The following are some of the real issues that should be addressed:

The country currently has one of the highest inflation rates in the world currently reported to be over 100 000 percent.

The general shortage of most basic commodities. Which is causing untold suffering to the people of Zimbabwe.

Shortages of foreign currency which is affecting the whole economy and the delivery of essential services.
High unemployment levels and poor Health service delivery.
