OPPOSITION MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai says claim that the MDC-T is failing to deal with the members who perpetrate violence is untrue as people rush to conclusions without details.
According to NewZimbabwe.com, Tsvangirai was responding to questions from journalists who asked why some party youths who were involved in acts of violence in 2010 were readmitted into the party after they were expelled.
"There is no such thing as permanent penalty, people who make mistakes in the party are disciplined and they are given a period of rehabilitation," Tsvangirai told journalists.
"We believe that punishment in an incentive for good behaviour."
"So, they have been rehabilitated; it doesn't mean that when you mete out punishment, it's a death penalty, they were brought back because they had fulfilled the conditions for the penalty."
