Tsvangirai courts Biti, Mangoma

Morgan Tsvangirai opposition MDC-T leader has started engaging his former lieutenants People's Democratic Party (PDP) leader Tendai Biti and Renewal Democrats of Zimbabwe front-man Elton Mangoma, as plans for the proposed grand coalition gather momentum.

Addressing journalists at his party headquarters in Harare last Friday, Tsvangirai said the two former MDC-T top officials were not being roped in for their intellectual prowess, as was the general sentiment in opposition circles, but to strengthen the coalition efforts to enable the opposition to confront Zanu-PF as a unit in the 2018 elections.
