Tsvangirai, Welshman Ncube go at each other

PRIME Minister Morgan Tsvangirai is out of his depth as the challenges facing the country are too complex for an "uneducated person", MDC leader Welshman Ncube has said.

Ncube told about a hundred supporters in Redcliff's Torwood suburb that Tsvangirai, an ex-miner and trade unionist, lacked the capacity to lead the country out of its present mire.

"The people who started the struggle for Zimbabwe's liberation in 1957 were aware that for them to win over white colonialism, they needed an educated leader... now Zimbabwe has more complex problems than those of 1957," Ncube was quoted as saying by NewsDay.

"Business has collapsed, factories ruined and schools have all but collapsed and these require a leadership with vision and capacity, which only this party has, not a tea boy.

"Tsvangirai cannot perform miracles and solve problems of our nation. That era ended with Jesus who performed them a long time ago."

The MDC-T leader, however, dismisses Ncube's personal attacks insisting it was up to the electorate to decide who should run the country.
