Movement for Democratic Change leader Welshman Ncube has revealed that President Robert Mugabe sleeps at Sadc meetings, adding that at one time the 88-year-old Zanu-PF leader had to be woken up by Zambian President Michael Sata at the just-ended regional summit in Maputo, Mozambique.
Ncube told party supporters at a campaign rally at Mbondweni shopping centre in Filabusi on Saturday that Mugabe had now become a liability to government and needed to be replacedurgently.
"The question is not about the retention of Mugabe, even at the Sadc meetings he sleeps. If you are strong and young, you sleep in a dignified way, but his whole body collapses when he sleeps," said Ncube.
Contacted for comment, Zanu-PF spokesperson Rugare Gumbo yesterday said: "We think it would be immature for us to respond to Ncube.
"He does not know what he wants, he has one issue, but the constitution is not made for one aspect. We do not attach any credence to his sentiments. He does not represent a majority of views in society."
