MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai was yesterday forced to address his campaign rally outside Mvurwi Stadium, his intended venue, after hundreds of Zanu-PF supporters besieged the arena, playing soccer matches.
MDC-T officials said that they had booked the stadium earlier for their star rally, but Zanu-PF supporters gathered inside the venue in the morning to block the rally.
When Tsvangirai arrived in the afternoon, some of the Zanu-PF supporters started trickling out of the stadium and could be seen listening stealthily to the speeches.
In his address, Tsvangirai blasted Zanu-P's "culture of disturbing MDC rallies" adding most State security agents who used to torment his party supporters had now come to their senses and realised that violence would not win them votes.
