MDC-T president Morgan Tsvangirai yesterday said President Robert Mugabe's "inevitable end was nigh" and vowed that the opposition party would remove the Zanu-PF strongman from power this year.
According to the Standard, Tsvangirai said this while addressing about 10 000 party supporters outside Mucheke Stadium as part of his countrywide by-election boycott campaign rallies.
The rally was held outside the stadium because the venue had already been booked by a church group.
However, the MDC-T leader did not say how his party was going to unseat the 91-year-old Zanu-PF leader this year.
Tsvangirai said Zimbabweans had lost faith in the ballot, but ruled out violence. He however warned that if the worst comes to the worst, Zimbabweans would "liberate themselves."
"We are boycotting all elections until reforms are implemented. But our next position after the election boycott is serious… We cannot wait until 2018. This year is the people's year. We shall act to liberate ourselves so that Mugabe listens to the voice of reason," Tsvangirai said.
"I am prepared to give the last breath of my life to liberate ourselves. If the worst comes to the worst, we will free ourselves. We have no violence; we will not liberate ourselves through force or the bullet, but victory is certain."
