MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai spokesman Luke Tamborinyoka has accused the ZBC for propagating lies about the demonstrations which was conducted by the party on April 14 saying the national broadcaster only focused its cameras to where there were no people and interviewed people who had nothing to do with the protest who just said negative things.

The MDC-T demonstration was massively attended by supporters which showed that Tsvangirai is still having support despite critiques who claimed he has crumbled.

Tamborinyoka said cheap, cheap propaganda, the ZBC dismally failed to cope with the MDC demo. It was in sixes and sevens on how to cover the people's loud expression," he said.  "Finally, they settled for reporting, not on the demo itself but on comments by the usual political analysts who talked about this non-significant" demonstration."

He said then they show people  a fleet of pictures, making sure that there were never more than four people in each other.

"This was the picture of the people who turned up at the "poorly attended" MDC demonstration. And then they resort to quoting police spokesperson Charity Charamba, who spoke about about how MDC activists had "run amok" and disturbed the flow of traffic," he said. "And then you say to yourself, so those four people shown to me in this very same news clip as having been the demonstrators are the ones who disturbed human and vehicular traffic in Harare's CBD? Its called denial. No amount of media whitewash will blind people from the true numbers that expressed themselves in Harare."
