'Morgan Tsvangirai out of his mind'

Political analysts say the utterances by MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai that he missed Rhodesian rule are baffling and clearly reflect that the opposition leader has lost control of his mind.
Mr Tsvangirai, who fronts a party that has a host of former Rhodesian Security Services men in its rank and file exposed himself when he said he missed the Rhodesian rule that enabled him to get drunk for a dollar or one Rhodesian pound.
He said this while launching the so-called national youth assembly jobs campaign.
Political analyst and University of Zimbabwe lecturer Dr Charity Manyeruke said it was unfortunate that out of all the atrocities that were carried out against indigenous Zimbabweans by the colonialists Tsvangirai chooses to remember how he would spend his money on alcohol.
Dr Manyeruke said it is a total waste of time to have Tsvangirai masquerading as an opposition leader because he is suffering from nostalgia and is trapped in memories of the colonial era.
Another political analyst Dr Davison Gomo said it is shocking that Tsvangirai chooses to remember the meager salaries that he earned during the colonial era, ignoring gallant sons and daughters of the soil who fought on the battle front and sacrificed their lives for the freedom that he is enjoying today.
Instead of joining others to fight the Rhodesian system, Mr Tsvangirai said he went to Mutare in 1972 to look for employment.
While others were fighting the Smith regime in 1975, Mr Tsvangirai left Mutare for Bindura to work at Trojan Nickel Mine as other youths crossed into Mozambique to join the liberation struggle.
