The Herald Editor Caesar Zvayi has assured Zanu PF that it will govern until donkeys grow horns as the only opposition political party that claim to have massive support, the MDC-T take detrimental decisions.

This come at a time when the MDC-T has indicated that it will not contest the 14 seats which were left vacant after the expulsion from parliament of MPs who defected to the MDC- Renewal.

THE MDC-T on Tuesday resolved not to participate in by-elections for the 14 seats left vacant after the expulsion from Parliament of MPs who defected to the MDC-Renewal camp, effectively giving the seats to Zanu PF.

Though the party could not immediately confirm the replacements of the seven fired MPs, party spokesperson Obert Gutu said MDC-T had upheld its October 2014 congress resolution not to participate in any general or by-election before implementation of key electoral reforms.

"Our position is clear," he said.

"We have a congress resolution and we do not vacillate or blow hot and cold.

"We believe in sticking to principle.

"The national standing committee met and it was unanimously agreed that we have a resolution of congress and we should not be seen to be blowing hot and cold.

"We say nothing has changed in as far as the electoral playing field is concerned."

Zvayi said in reaction to the MDC-T's stance, "With an opposition like this, surely Zanu-PF will govern till donkeys grow horns!"

Zvayi is known to be a Zanu PF activist journalist who has always taken a side with the ruling party.

Gutu claimed they had gathered intelligence reports that the ruling Zanu PF had reactivated its poll-rigging machinery and was geared to put it to test at the forthcoming by-elections for Chirumanzu-Zibagwe and Mt Darwin West constituencies on March 27.

"We have discovered shocking inconsistencies," he claimed.

"We have impeccable intelligence that points that Nikuv is alive and kicking and under the payroll of the Zanu PF regime.

We will not legitimise the electoral fraud. Until and unless electoral reforms are fully implemented, we will not take part in elections."
