Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Christopher Mutsvangwa has said the acrimonious leadership wrangles in the MDC-T have vindicated Zanu-PF's insistence, over the past decade and half, that the opposition party cannot be trusted to run the country.
Mutsvangwa told a two day conference in Harare organised by the Southern Africa Political and Economic Series (SAPES) Trust and the National Endowment Democracy (NED) that Zimbabwe would have imploded if the opposition party had been allowed to govern.
The conference ran under the theme, "Reinforcing Zimbabwe's Process: A Dialogue to Reinforce Engagement".
Biti, finance minister in the last coalition government, was part of the panellists at the discussion along with Simba Makoni, leader of Mavambo Kusile.
said Zanu-PF had been heartened by the respect it was now getting from western diplomats accredited to Harare and sections of the political opposition.
Mutsvangwa said President Robert Mugabe's government has been talking to European Union (EU) member countries and, thus far, had received positive feedback.
