The Movement for Democratic Change MDC has dismissed  President Robert Mugabe's attacks on the opposition and prediction of a Zanu PF victory in 2018  as 'a winter dream'.

Party' spokesperson Kurauone Chihwayi said the MDC will not be distracted by any threats or any of Mugabe's theatrical talk meant to portray himself as 'the chosen one' when he is 'not the chosen one'.

"We have the people and the  required formula to boot Mugabe out of office in a free and fair election with or without state sponsored political violence," he said.

"President Robert Mugabe is on his way out and only a mad person will vote for the fragmented and lifeless Zanu PF that has no chance of surviving future elections.The people of Zimbabwe should start working on the future without the tired and clueless Mugabe."

He said President Robert Mugabe has evidently failed to eradicate corruption,resuscitate local industry,empower the people and productively organise and fund local farmers to promote food production.

"It is cheap politicking for Mugabe to say 'Opposition is wasting its time" instead of stepping down. Contrary to Mugabe assertions, the opposition in Zimbabwe is alive and working on a post Mugabe Era," he said.

"The MDC embraces the idea of an all inclusive bigger political project that will restore both economic and political sanity  in Zimbabwe."
