INDEPENDENT legislator Temba Mliswa has blamed opposition leaders for aiding President Robert Mugabe's rule by constantly uttering reckless statements.
According to NewZimbabwe.com, Mliswa said politicians should be careful with their public pronouncements as they define the behaviour of their followers, particularly towards electoral processes and political rights.
He singled-out the MDC-T party, accusing it of giving Zanu-PF a soft lead in the 2018 elections by not participating in by-elections held since 2013.
"As we speak, all the by-elections Zanu PF has been registering, the MDC has not been registering; that's a fact. Come 2018, Zanu-PF has more registered voters.
"When we lose, we then attribute it to rigging. Can you win an election without registering to vote?"
Despite having started on a high note when it was established in 1999, the MDC-T has consistently failed to unseat Mugabe's regime in successive elections.
