Tsvangirai want Zimbabwe back in the international spotlight

FORMER Prime Minister and MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai want Zimbabwe back in the international spotlight.

According to reports, Tsvangirai has already sent a team to Botswana to lobby the new Sadc leader Ian Khama to remind the region that they must not think that they have resolved the Zimbabwean issue.

Khama is taking over as chairperson following the expiry of President Robert Mugabe's tenure this week.

"It is true there is a team in Botswana led by Nyanguwo to lobby Khama. We want Zimbabwe back in the international spotlight and Sadc is the curator on the crisis," said the MDC-T official.

Tsvangirai and Khama are close and the MDC-T has indicated that it will use that to great effect.

"Mugabe has been chair for 12 months and has managed to muzzle any discussion on Zimbabwe since August last year," a senior MDC-T official told one Zimbabwe online news portal.

Mugabe and Khama reportedly don't see eye to eye.
