It is improtant to note that on the MDC T list, it does not make progresive sense for Tendai Biti to be Finance Minister. We all know that he is a Laywer and putting a lawyer in Finance when there are better qualified and capable people like Elton Mangoma who is a CA leaves a lot to be desired. That decision looks the same like Zanu Pf and generally an African problem where leaders look at faces rather that relevancy!

It is also surprising that MDC T peaks from the MDC M MP, we are yet to see what will happen since switching of parties is currently not allowed. It may be that Tsvangirai will appoint A. Bhebhe as one of the norminees to the senate.

It is being rumoured that among the 3 picks by Mutambara, Priscilar is not there, to me that would be very wrong. That lady looks very capable and seems a good leader who would have deserved a cabinet post.

From the MDC T list, there is only one Ndebele MP and ironically is from the other party. Are we going back to the tribal issue here?????
