What is going on today in CCM clamouring for abolishment of presidential terms reflects more about palpable insecurities of the agitators more than the substance of what they are advocating
It's small wonder in our new political culture of hypocrisy and sycophancy they feel the urgency to blurt out things which they suspect are euphonious to the party boss who has final say in their political career
