In the past few weeks there has been a multi-pronged structural attack on Professor Welshman Ncube in opinion pages and news columns of the Daily News newspaper.
The systematic assault uses a three-pronged approach that attempts to stigmatise him as a Zanu PF person, accusing him of dividing Morgan Tsvangirai’s voter base and using an unproductive strategy by addressing the shortcomings and inadequacies of both Tsvangirai and President Robert Mugabe — other key contenders for the top post in the next election.
