Tekere, who does not seem to see eye-to-eye with Masipula's brother, Ndabaningi Sithole, has repeatedly accused Masipula of trying to build a platform for this brother, who, at that time, was in self-imposed exile.
Now that Ndabaningi is back, it will be interesting to see if the brothers will team up and, if they do, how much political support they can wrestle from ZUM and even perhaps ZANU-PF.
It will also be interesting to see how Ndabaningi takes up the game now because it appears the euphoria he was received with and the press coverage he was accorded even by the dailies seems to be waning.
