27 Aug 2013 at 04:31hrs | Views
Harare and Bulawayo residents yesterday reacted angrily to President Mugabe's threat to disown the two cities as punishment for dumping his Zanu-PF party and overwhelmingly voting for the MDC-T in the July 31 polls.
In separate interviews in Harare and Bulawayo yesterday, the residents said the Zanu-PF leader should stop being vindictive and act like a statesman by treating all citizens equally regardless of their political affiliation.
Mugabe, speaking at the burial of National Railways of Zimbabwe general manager and former liberation war fighter Retired Air Commodore Mike Karakadzai at the National Heroes' Acre on Sunday, threatened to avenge his defeat in Bulawayo and Harare, the MDC-T's strongholds.
MDC-T has also castigated Mugabe's utterances.
