The Zimbabwe Vigil, a pro-democracy demonstrator group of Zimbabweans in the United Kingdom has urged Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai to consider stepping down as MDC-T leader following recent reports of his love life.
The group said although they had respect for the Premier's "heroic work" in leading the MDC-T for the past twelve years, they felt he should "– as the saying goes – consider his position."
"We couldn't help but think of Tsvangirai's on-off wedding," they said in a statement.
The group says that people were alarmed that Tsvangirai appears to have walked blindly into a Zanu PF trap and has become a laughing stock.
The group also aks the "How can he rule the country when he's always in bed"?.
"Zanu PF has been paralysed by its inability to renew its leadership. The MDC-T should not make the same mistake. We believe there is no shortage of talent in the MDC-T and, with elections unlikely in the foreseeable future, there would be time for a new leader to make his mark," said the statement.
Tsvangirai's spokesperson Luke Tamborinyoka scoffed at the suggestion.
