MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai says he knows he is wasting his time challenging Mugabe election victory.

"It does not matter kuenda kucourt. It does not matter the outcome of the court. Tinoiziva outcome yacho, but (President) Mugabe and Zanu-PF know that they stole this election," he told mourners gathered at MDC activist funeral yesterday.

He said that Zanu-PF would not be able to deliver its promises to the electorate and described the promises as mere "rhetoric."

 "Takavati mati makahwina, ah, toda kuona kuti zvamakaporomisa vanhu muchazviwana kupi?"
He criticised Zanu-PF for writing off water and electricity bills and the pledge by President Mugabe to increase salaries for civil servants.

"Kubva kana mukaita izvozvo tokuroverai maoko asi chandinoziva hangu ndechekuti kutaura chete. Hapana kwavanoenda kana Mwari wandinoziva kuti ariko, kana kuine midzimu hameno vanotenda zvemidzimu."

In an interview, Zanu-PF spokesperson Rugare Gumbo said Tsvangirai, who is smarting from his devastating defeat, was bankrupt.

 He said Zanu-PF was only awaiting President Mugabe's inauguration before implementing its promises.

"He (Mr Morgan Tsvangirai) is dreaming and everyone is allowed to dream," he said.
"We have nothing to do with Tsvangirai and he has nothing to offer to this country. He must listen to the advice of his handlers who are saying he is a failed politician.

"After inauguration, the President will go on to form Cabinet and open Parliament after which we will start to implement our programmes. Forget about Tsvangirai, he is finished."
