I would like to start by saying amhlope to Job Sikhala for coming back home.
To Tendai Biti and others who are calling for leadership renewal within the MDC-T, I would like to advice you to do it following your party's constitution.
Lets take an example, if Mugabe genuinely won the July 31 election like what Biti recently said will it be democratic for Mnangagwa or someone else to call for his resignation right now.
Considering that the people of Zimbabwe voted him in power so that he could do something good within the next five years, I think he must be given his chance.
Tsvangirai was given his mandate by the MDC people to lead them until 2016.
If someone then want him to leave at the expense of the majority who elected him at the 2011 congress then its no longer democracy.
The other thing is that some individuals and press are lying to the people, there is no party called the MDC-T but it was agreed to put the name Tsvangirai on ballot papers so as to differentiate it to Ncube's party.
It is the state media which put a T as a way of mocking the MDC.
The principles and values that the MDC was founded for are still there but only that there are some individuals who are out to confuse the electorate.
Elton Mangoma was never suspended for calling for leadership renewal as certain media want us to believe but was suspended for failing to follow the party's communication channel.
