		JUST as some observers were saying Jonathan Moyo's United People's Movement (UPM) could be stillborn, the former government spin doctor has spoken out for the first time about his shadowy political party, claiming it is emerging as the next powerful opposition in the country.
		Moyo, fired from ZANU PF and the government last year after a political fallout with President Robert Mugabe over the election of Vice-President Joice Mujuru, dismissed reports suggesting the UPM would be officially launched on December 22 2005.

		Once President Robert Mugabe's right-hand man, disgraced politician Jonathan Moyo is fighting for a comeback in key elections on Thursday, squaring off against the party that for four years considered him their biggest zealot.
		Moyo has returned to his home in Tsholotsho, where he was born 48 years ago in a poor rural area in the southwestern Matabeleland region, to try to win election to parliament as an independent candidate following a falling-out with Mugabe four months ago over party leadership changes.
		The architect of Zimbabwe's repressive media laws adopted in 2002, Moyo fell out of favor in December for challenging Mugabe's choice of Joyce Mujuru as vice president of the party and of the country, putting her potentially in line for the presidency.

		Moyo is already in disgrace due to his participation in a failed intra-party coup, and his subsequent anonymously-penned attacks on senior party figures have finally caused the ZANU politburo to object to his manipulation of the media.
		Moyo's heavy-handed control of the state media was something Mugabe was quite happy about as long as it was being done on his behalf, but it has now become a matter of concern:
		Moyo's days in the Cabinet appear numbered, and he has reportedly begun making plans for a return to private life - where he will no doubt attack ZANU as bitterly as he did before he was bought off with a ministry.

		Unfor-tunately for the hotel, far more people now know of Moyo as the Sheraton Professor than were ever aware that he was supposed to have a job at Wits.

		Moyo, the only independent candidate to win a seat in the parliamentary elections in March, argues that his United People's Movement (UPM) offers an alternative to ZANU-PF's 25-year grip on power, and the labour-backed Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), which has lost three elections in a row since 2000, in ballots many regard as rigged.
		According to Moyo, the UPM is a "synthesis of the dialectic between ZANU-PF and the MDC", and an idea that has attracted disgruntled elements in both parties.
		As information minister for five years, Moyo was an abrasive defender of the government, and spearheaded the draconian Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act: legislation for controlling the media that has seen the arrest of more than 100 journalists and the closure of four private newspapers in the past four years.
