Fist fighting is the characteristic of MDC-T

Morgan Tsvangirai's references to himself as being imbued with leadership qualities are laughable and misplaced in a serious autobiography.  The man has no nationalist institutional memory apart from five insignificant years at the local ZANU PF office in Bindura. This lack of nationalist credentials is a further warning of his questionable motives and suitability to occupy the highest office in Zimbabwe.

Despite himself, Tsvangirai expresses admiration and envy for the leadership qualities of President Robert Mugabe. His efforts to blame President Mugabe's decision making on economic matters is both importune and unfortunate and leads to the conclusion that the leader of the MDC-T is a lightweight on issues of economic importance. It seems he believes that Zimbabwe's economic woes, past and current, should be blamed at the door of one man and his party.

Tsvangirai is in a desperate mode to raise his political profile. The truth is that this man suffers from an extreme case of premature self congratulation. The MDC-T we know is clueless, unorganized bunch of cartoons. Fighting is the order of the day. That is why it split more than five times. This is all about leadership crisis and also shows that no one of them has the nation at heart.

In some countries, silly seasons come and go, but in MDC-T, silliness is not seasonal. It is a perennial feature, going on for years, to the point of unmasking all pretenses of wisdom and revealing deep levels of idiocy. The elements of heckling, booing and fist fighting continue to dominate and characterize the MDC-T.

Recently chaotic scenes reportedly marred an MDC-T rally held at Njube Hall in Bulawayo resulting in some members being beaten up for supporting another faction.  The Njube rally was so tense that it led to the exchange of blows. The rally was addressed by MDC-T leader, Morgan Tsvangirai.  The MDC-T Bulawayo province is split into two- one faction supporting Gift Banda, Bulawayo deputy mayor and the other backing Senator Matson Hlalo.

Hlalo and Banda, the MDC-T Bulawayo provincial chairperson, have been at loggerheads over the control of the city's structures. But the MDC-T spokesperson, Obert Gutu denied that the skirmishes happed.  Previously Tsvangirai was forced to call off a provincial meeting due to simmering tensions over the control of the Bulawayo province, as Banda's rivals continuously heckled him.

It is quite surprising for the MDC-T spokesperson, that he had the audacity to claim that nothing like that ever happened in Bulawayo. He has the guts to declare that things went on smoothly and they never had any instances of violence during their meetings. This is the anti-thesis of reality.

It is quit plausible to remind the progressive citizens of this country and the likeminded that the MDC-T has a perennial appetite for violence. The violence is both intra-party and inter-party. Previously hit squads have been orchestrated to fight other party supporters and the victims included Trudy Stevenson and Elton Mangoma.  The hit squads were also used to fight ZANU PF supporters in a by-election campaign in Bikita West constituency.

If the MDC-T really wants to rule and govern this country it should desist from violence and adopt the tenets of democracy which guarantees people to choose candidates of their choice. Tsvangirai should stop the habit of imposing candidates of his choice. Surely this buffoon of dubious revolutionary credentials is messing the once vibrant opposition party.
