Teach your children politics at a tender age, says Tsvangirai

Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai has called on party members to inculcate a spirit of political activism in their teenage children to ensure they are geared for the 2018 do-or-die elections.

Addressing MDC-T supporters at Hauna business centre in Mutasa North constituency on Saturday, Tsvangirai warned that his party would be finished if it failed to win the 2018 elections.

Tsvangirai said the MDC-T had adopted a new aggressive campaign strategy which would see them win the elections, but refused to disclose finer details.

Meanwhile, while addressing thousands of supporters in Makoni West, Morgan Tsvangirai lauded Didymus Mutasa for "having seen the light" and finally realizing how "cruel" President Robert Mugabe allegedly was.

The MDC leader also said that MDC was committed to peaceful change in Zimbabwe, which is why the party has never advocated for the taking up of arms each time they felt Zanu-PF had rigged an election. He said he was now resolute in dethroning Zanu-PF and committed to democratic change.

Tsvangirai also took time to recount his recent "persecution" by Zanu-PF in order to divert his attention from his Manicaland tour, a reference to police disruptions of his meetings as well as the failed attempts to have his property attached.
