The Land Reform Agenda that has greatly empowered the people of Zimbabwe through Zanu PF with MDC now supporting it with their SMART Pledge.

The focus on productive use of land and issuance of security of tenure documents to beneficiaries of land in order to allow for long term security of tenure; reflects both MDC and Zanu PF.

Wider access to land being achieved through rightsizing of farms and elimination of multiple farm ownership; yet another tenet that MDC and Zanu PF agree on.

Therefore what is actually the MDC; PLEDGE of a Sustainable and Modernisation Agenda for Real Transformation (Smart pledge)?

SMART Governance, Nation Building and the Consensus State

SMART Sustainable, Shared and Inclusive Economy

SMART Citizen Rights, Interests and Protection

SMART Social Justice and Delivery

Did Zanu PF copy and paste this to Vision2030?
