Sikhala calls for peace in the MDC-T

MDC founding member Job Sikhala has called for peace in the party after the rocking developments at the weekend which saw leader Morgan Tsvangirai being suspended, after-which the Tsvangirai camp soon announced they are defying the suspension.

Sikhala while appealing for calm, said the suspension was caused by growing anger in the party which concern was ignored during its earliest stages.

Said Sikhala at the weekend: "After all is said and done, people will realize that we would need each other in the long run. The internal turbulence in the MDC might point to our failures to deal with burning issues in the party in time. When problems emerge people must find a quick way of fixing them, than to allow them to reach an extend of an explosion.

"It seems to me that there was burning anger in the house for a longtime, which the party did not take courage to tackle. The level with which the implosion has reached can only be resolved by an independent respected peace maker from the region or among our respected clergy. Let us not cheat each other, after the anger subsided, we shall all notice that the project we are pursuing needs all of us together.

"There is no winner in everything that is happening. The major casualty is our struggle. Lets sit down and talk and find each other once again!"
