When is Mugabe going to die?

Outspoken MDC legislator Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga has said people are fed up with Zanu PF succession battles saying the nation is asking when president Robert Mugabe is going to die.

Speaking in parliament on Tuesday, Misihairabwi-Mushonga said Mugabe should speedily sort out succession issues.

She said Zanu PF is holding the nation at ransom.

Below is Misihairabwi-Mushonga contribution as recorded by the parliamentary Hansard :

I think we need to get the President to address all these issues to deal with the issue around succession.

Succession has become a cancer in this country.

No one works because everybody is waiting to see when Robert Mugabe is going to die and when he is going to get sick. We need to address - [HON. MEMBERS:
Inaudible interjections.]-

Yes, I am not saying I want him to die.

I am saying the very fact that as a nation, we are now bound to waking up in the morning and people wanting somebody to die, is an indication that we have a problem.

The President should just come here and say 2018, it is not about us, and it is about that side Mr. Speaker.

That is the side that bothers about succession. These are the people that are holding us to ransom.

We do not care whether President Mugabe stays or not.

We have an election to go and get rid of him. These are the people that we want to get rid of him in his party.

Let him address it. We are sick and tired as a nation of being held to ransom over ZANU PF politics of not being able to choose a person that they want.

The President should address that, close it so that this country can begin to work again.
