CARTOON: Tsvangirai donates seat to Mugabe

Morgan Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change party has insisted that it will not take part in any elections in Zimbabwe as long as the Zanu-PF led government refuses to level the electoral playing field.

This position gives President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF another opportunity to make further inroads into Bulawayo, which has long been an MDC-T fortress, following the death of Nkulumane legislator Thamsanqa Mahlangu last week.
