He has recently signed on for a second year. It won't be any easier than his first. "Change is painful," Bobb says, adding, "We cannot be afraid...
Masunungure adds that Zuma is in favor of a new election because it sounds good and appears to be "the quickest way to get rid of the Zimbabwean crisis." But the temptation must be resisted, he warns. Those who doubt him might listen to Zanu-PF spokesman Ephraim Masawi, who said recently that his party was "raring" for fresh elections.
