Thank you all for taking part in this discussion. This Live Update has been closed but you can still comment at the bottom.

UTsvangirai wehlulekile kangeze akhone lutho kaphume.

Tswngirai got e surppot of the pple and he won 3elections already,who is this little biti

Biti is a a big sale out,he is a power hungry bastard,we know he is linked to Zanu,he is not going anyway,he is wasting his time,in Matebeleland forget mr biti u will neva get a single vote,you just day dreaming,ask welshman ncube,its beta for zanu to rule for ever than to b ruled by this idiot biti,if biti was genuine why u did not wait for the congress to remove tswangirai,what are u scared of,sorry biti u will only rule yo family till u die

Olendlebe akezwe umoya okutshoyo emabandleni.

Are you one of those who died in 2008, because those who lived after 2008 know very well how useless this organ is.

At least Biti is partially clever to see that for the past 15 years they have been sitting in an engineless train with a blind driver leading them to a place known as 'nowhere'. Wasted time, wasted lives, wasted political space following people with no direction. Tsvangie womanising (kwese kwese psi! psi! like a teenager) deputised by an equally out of sorts big umazakhela sporting a punky hair style like a street boy child.

Many pple died in 2008 only for Morgan to back down last minute when victory was near. There was no justice served for the lost and beaten but dear Morgan after being PM went on a sex spree forgetting the fallen. I for one felt betrayed by him and now Biti better be the new leader coz he's more vocal and lets be honest he did well as Finance Minister. Can anyone tell us what Morgan achieved as PM about from impregnanting women? Morgan is the CIO.

Our hope is now on Biti cz tsvangirai personalised the strugle.lets give these guys a chance 15 years were enough for morgan

Tsvanirai, Tsvangirai its high time you learn to accept that change is now within. Don't be a liability. Two splits within a decade under your leadership its too much. Circus upon circus and zim doesn't require a leader of this nature. He was groomed by Zanu by the way so he was strategically put there by Zanu Pf. How can he fail to understand simple politics. Towards elections he was sure that he was going to be in the state house hence he was busy inviting other opposition parties as if they where useless. Where is the state house now? Walk the talk Tngirai. Its could out there. Give him a beautiful wife and let him rest in Buhera. Can't be leead by a man of his charecter.

Zim opposition politics is a disgrace.The MDC split is a good news for ZanuPf.

Pliz remember this,united u stand n divided u fall so pliz try to unite n. Settle down ur differences

Biti is a power hungry person who has bee working behind the scenes not for the part's gains but for his. Should the rebel succed, it won't go far as both Biti n Mangoma r eying for the same postion which will lead to oblivion. The way they r forcefully taking this party will be the way they will lose it. There is party they will lead. This r not law firms nor universities they claim to have gone thru. This politics which need thick skinned ppl. Now the internal fighting is zanu's gain. There is no gain they will get except plunging the country into caos.

Tswangirai is a big broblem but becus we want to se zanu out let u be united to win inja engumgabe

The opposition in will not grow in Zimbabwe because they are not home grown.....they are being used as puppets that is their problems....they against their Liberators to stand with the former colonisers.....so I to Morgan Tsvangirai...be home bred...........

no need to attack tsvangirai. if biti and co are serious about this they were supposed to have come out open long tym ago than to beat the bushes. tsvangirai has never lost an election from the beginning. biti et al are lawyers what did they do when the elections were stolen. what exactly did they want tsvangirai to do, going to the bush- war?.

These are the political dynamics needed to strengthen a democratic party and get rid of chaff like Biti and Co, its good because everyone is free to express themselves and form their own parties, unlike in ZanuPF where any suspected individuals to have divergent views are thrown into acid drums to dissolve, thrown into Kariba dam or crocodile infested rivers on the orders of Mr Me Alone (Bob).

Yes there is hope in the opposition.my appeal to the opposition is ask God for intervention for the suffering masses' sake. This saga is for the opposition to take stock of their opperation and integrity. No one is perfect . So its my prayer that the opposition leadership correct their mistakes and focus on their mandate .they should not lose their heads for power's sake.Let peace dwell in their minds during this unsettled period.

Tsvangirai is like Mugabe, they both love to lead even if they are not wanted by those meant to be following them. I think MDC-T supporters are to blame as well on this one because they support a person not the party policies

Ko Mwari Varikuti Kudi Pane Zvese Izvi? Munganetsana Nevanhu Vasina Kuzodzwa Kutonga Nyika Ino Kana Nguva Yamwari Yakwana Akazodzwa Achabuda Pachena

well done Biti its long overdue welcome fresh blood and intelligent son of soil take us to to promised land of Zimbabwe

Batsho abafana besi Shoneni zvaputika! they are all power hungry.

Niyakhumbula when Mugabe and his cronies pulled out of Zapu to form Zanu it was because of power greedy of Mugabe and now we are crying when Biti does it. The Zimbabwe problem started when Mugabe decided to leave the party which was made of all types of Zimbabweans not what we see today that you have to be a SHONA to rule Zimbabwe. Let the Ndebele rule u wont see all this nonsense we are witnessing these days.

Mugabe once said the man's shallowness makes him (Mugabe) to feel pity for Tsvangirai. I think he must have been surprised by the way he was drinking tea on their Monday meetings, because you can tell the character of a person from the way he/she eats. Shallow minded people can't stop eating when food is still on the table (they have a donkey attitude).

Zanu did penetrate MDC when Tsvangirai made a wrong move by marrying a Zunu lady, they got the CIO's in.

Tsvangirai cannot lead serious people except those with no identities like Chamisa, Khuphe and Lovemore who have taken politics to be their professions. Those who think he can do anything for Zimbabwe are as good as those who think Mugabe can pull Zimbabwe to prosperity.

What Biti and co did was long overdue. Tsvangson and his ilk have destroyed MDC. They have personalized the struggle as if it belongs to Mr Open Zip Shut Mind Tshwankilayi. Sikhathele ngaye indoda lo labo mangumba bakhe oDorcas labo Thokozani

The hope has faded dismally. Zanu will rule for ever as long the opposition shows the type greedy which we r witnessing. Its so confusing that ppl like Biti claim to following constitution doing this nonse they r busy with. This action is showing nothing from rebels except greedy!

MDC has done it again!

Lets Discuss!
