The leader of the MDC, Welshman Ncube says he will continue criticising Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai whether he likes it or not, Daily News reported.
Addressing 700 of his supporters at Stanley Square in Makokoba in Bulawayo on Sunday, Ncube said Tsvangirai should not complain when being criticised, because in his book "At the Deep End" he also attacked him.
"Why is he afraid of being criticised when he is a leader in national politics?
"I always attack Mugabe but he never complains, why then when I just mention his name, Tsvangirai jumps.
"As long as you are in the ring of politics, I will continue criticising you until you pack your bags and follow Locadia (Karimatsenga) to Buhera," said Ncube.
Locadia Karimatsenga is Tsvangirai's former girlfriend whom he wanted to marry but changed his mind at the last minute with the Tsvangirai family accusing her of being used by state agents.
She is reported to be staying at Tsvangirai's rural home in Buhera.
Last week in Plumtree, Tsvangirai said he was surprised that Ncube continues to attack him personally, instead of marketing his party policies to the people of Zimbabwe.
Ncube also said Zanu PF has run out of ideas by endorsing Mugabe as its candidate for next elections when he has passed retirement age.
"I was shocked when Mugabe said he won't go because he is afraid of leaving Zimbabweans in mess.
"Which messes can he clean up, when he failed to do that in the past 30 years he has ruled this country.
"After all, he is the one who also created that mess," he said.
The smaller MDC leader added that whoever votes for Mugabe in next elections will be "mad."
Last week Zanu PF endorsed Mugabe who will be 88 next year as their presidential candidate in the next election.
Dates for Zimbabwe's next elections are yet to be announced. But Zanu PF says it wants the polls next year.
Tsvangirai says polls should be held only after full implementation of reforms agreed to under the Global Political Agreement (GPA).
The Ncube-led MDC says it is impossible to hold elections next year, indicating that the polls can only be held in 2013 at the ealiest.
