Tsvangirai's advisers blamed for MDC-T poor decisions

Human Rights activist Dewa Mavhinga has accused MDC-T Leader Morgan Tsvangirai's advisers for poorly advising him to a point of leading to the crumbling of the once vibrant party which threatened President Robert Mugabe's rule since year 2000.

"Perhaps  Tsvangirai is a good leader, but the problem is with some of his so-called advisors;" said Mavhinga. "They have no clue about reading the political temperature and notwithstanding their lofty qualifications they mistake emotions for reality and rallies for voters. Like some of today's fake prophets, they offer cash induced flattery disguised as political advice."

Mavhinga said he did not believe that, apart from selfish personal reasons there was no point going into that election.

"But again it goes down to advice," said Mavhinga.

Mavhinga said It was for the MDC T to make the right political decisions, but instead, on dubious advice they walked into a Zanu-PF trap of 2013 elections under conditions they knew to be unfree and unfair and against advice from civil society.

Davison Mohlomi Mudzingwa said if a cow refuses to get into the dip tank it will have failed itself because the dip chemicals are meant to protect it.

He was equating MDC-T to such a cow and described it as too dull.

Makusha Mugabe said a two-faced civil society leadership also did much to confuse the situation for the MDC T. "But I  believe Tsvangirai  has learned his lesson on that score," he said.
Mugabe said  Civil society led the MDC T up the garden path, did everything right to expose the problem of governance, and the way forward, but pulled the rug from under it when it came to consolidating the findings into demands for a free and  fair election. "Yes they made perfunctory noses, but in reality they had withdrawn and they are still withdrawn," he said. " We have discussed this before and many events which happened towards the election which showed the betrayal that left the MDC T on a lurch. Maybe instead of telling us about Tsvangirai 's advisors' inability to read the political thermometer, you should be telling us about the temperature."

Peshywashe Nyangove said those who have ears let them hear but alas their egos are so easily bruised. "Anyone who offers a different view is labelled a sell out," he said.

Puro Munatsi said perhaps Tsvangirai  should learn to listen to good advice rather than listen to the last person he talks to.
