Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T) youths led by Prime Minister Tsvangirai said they will not allow outsted Libyan leader Colonel Moammar Gaddafi to settle in Zimbabwe adding that he is criminal who should be hanged.

However speaking to Radio VOP Clifford Hlatswayo the spokesperson for MDC-T youth assembly said there are not going to allow another dictator to settle in Zimbabwe adding that the country is already under dictatorship.
"We will not allow that. He was rejected, dejected, defeated and he is a criminal. He has caused harm to his own people, killing them because of power. We will not tolerate such nonsense. We are already occupied by one dictator here in Zimbabwe.
Hlatswayo said the MDC-T is greatly shocked by such reports; saying they are detrimental to peace and security of in Zimbabwe.
"Gaddafi is a security threat. We don't want him. Zimbabwe is not a haven for criminals let him stay in his own country and face the music."
The developments come after the Libyan fighters swept into the heart of the capital, Tripoli, early Monday and seized the control of most of the city without facing significant resistance from regime forces.
There are no reports of the embattled ruler's whereabouts, but a diplomatic source said Gaddafi could still be in his Bab al-Aziziya compound in southern Tripoli. The source added that Gaddafi has many bunkers there that he could take cover in.
The Libyan opposition has announced that Gaddafi will be tried in a local court if he chooses to surrender.
Libya has been the scene of intense fighting between regime troops and fighters since a revolution seeking to topple Gaddafi began in mid-February.
