Morgan Tsvangirai's calls for a united MDC comes hard on the heels of the suspension of Elton Mangoma, the MDC-T treasurer general, for calling on Tsvangirai to step aside while other senior party officials like secretary general, Tendai Biti and youth assembly secretary general, may face the same fate.
"We do not want to kick anyone out of the MDC tent. We need everyone to be part of this movement as we move forward. Those colleagues [reference to Mangoma and others] of ours must come back, they must not be beaten, and they must not be condemned. I don't want anyone who promotes violence in this party," Tsvangirai told cheering party supporters.
"Let us be united and build this party…those in the civic society, we have travelled this road together. The spirit of 1999 is the spirit that will drive this party forward.
"That spirit is the spirit of unity, and a spirit of purpose. We need to go back there to re-energise the people and to re-invigorate the party."
