Tsvangirai turns to councilors for funding

The cash-strapped MDC-T has reportedly turned to its councilors and asked them to fund rallies addressed by opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai in Gokwe, Kwekwe and Kadoma last week.

Insiders said MDC-T Kwekwe councilors and Midlands provincial leaders were each forced to pay up to $20 each to fund Tsvangirai's fuel, accommodation, venue and hiring of the public address system in Kwekwe and Kadoma.

An MDC-T official said that many councilors were forced to borrow money to fund the rallies.
