MDC-T accused of stealing

The Movement for Democratic Change led by Morgan Tsvangirai has been accused of stealing ideas from the Welshman Ncube led party.

Read Full Statement released by MDC Youth Assembly today.

Demand for An Explanation!

The MDC Youth Assembly was startled, shocked and dazed by the behavior of the MDC-T in which they uploaded entirely on their Harvest House Online website our advert calling for papers.

This came barely weeks after the same MDC-T faced a similar confrontation from Bishop Sebastian Bakare who accused their leader Morgan Tsvangirai of "stealing" the National Convergence Platform, a concept that was proposed for national economic revival.

The Assembly posits that this preponderance of preying on political ideas from other political parties is not only an act of political desperation within the MDC-T but also absolutely criminal in nature. It is shameful that the party that calls itself a party of excellence speaks with the hand of Jacob and acts with the hand of Judas. It is evident that the party is devoid and bankrupt of ideas hence its invasion of our ideological bank

Whilst we will be vigilant in guarding the country's wealth form the thuggery of ZANU PF, we should also be wary of our intellectual property from the predatory and rapacious eyes of Mr Tsvangirai and his entire MDC-T leadership.

If the entire leadership of the party can steal ideas, what quickly comes to the mind of everyone is what stops them from stealing an election given an opportunity and what guarantees that when the same party gets into government will not copy and paste ZANU PF policies that have offloaded our economy as demonstrated by the thickness of the brains on the part of leadership.

The MDC Youth Assembly staunchly demands an explanation from Mr Obert Gutu as to how and why our advertisement ended up on their space. In addition to this, the Assembly unequivocally demands an apology for such an unethical, unprincipled and criminal behavior by the MDC-T leadership.

I would like to applaud the MDC Youth Assembly for being nifty and ingenious to the extent of generating ideas that can be emulated and stolen by the entire MDC-T party leadership.
