The MDC- led by Welshman Ncube has said Zimbabwe is being run by comedians at the same time the party condemned the arrest of nine civil society activists for demonstrating against Vice President Phelekezdela Mphoko's over stay at the Rainbow Towers where he is said to have clocked over 550 days.
In a statement MDC spokesperson Kurauone Chihwayi said the MDC condemns the arrest of Civil society members for demonstrating over Mphoko's stay in a five star hotel while civil servants wail.
"We view this as a blatant contempt of the national constitution that gives the people the permission to express themselves in a manner they want," he said.
"The arrest and intimidation of human rights activists in Zimbabwe is not only criminal but a waste of time and resources since that will not stop the people of Zimbabwe from exercising their constitutional rights. Robert Mugabe is now cornered and now facing more embarrassing protests until he steps down.The MDC reiterates its call for Robert Mugabe and his Zanu PF comedians currently in control to step down now and give the people of this great country a chance to clean up the mess and rebuild their country."
Chihwayi said the MDC is convinced that the people of Zimbabwe will not give Mugabe the mandate to continue with his reign of terror and destructive economic policies in 2018.
"The bells for political change are now getting louder for Robert Mugabe to prophesy the consequences of his bad and divisive leadership style," he said.
"The crime rate triggered by a very high unemployment figure and absence of friendly investment laws remain an issue of major concern for Zimbabweans."
