MDC-T leader, Morgan Tsvangirai has suggested that Zimbabweans are cowards but vowed to end President Robert Mugabe's ambitions of a life presidency.
He said Zimbabweans are too scared and even flee neighbourhood police officer.
He was addressing a rally in Rudhaka Stadium in Marondera on Saturday.
"The world is asking, are there people in Zimbabwe?
"Are we cowards? When people run away from a neighbourhood police officer, what is that? The message remains the same, Mugabe must go."
He said Mugabe should stop dreaming of dying in power as the 92-year-old leader would lose the 2018 elections.
"Mugabe has since acknowledged that I defeated him in 2008 but the question remains, why is he still in power?
"Give power to the mandated person, the person who was elected by the people. The whole world knows of a mandated leader," he said.
"But the problem is that Mugabe wants to die in power.
"At 94, Mugabe wants to contest? This other day I was with Mugabe at Sheraton [Rainbow Towers Hotel], and he said to me, Tsvangirai will you please watch out this step.
"You will fall down if you are not careful; imagine him saying that to me?"
