OPPOSITION MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai has vowed to trounce President Robert Mugabe in next year's harmonised elections even if the Zanu PF strongman, as is his wont, rigs the vote.
According to NewZimbabwe.com, Tsvangirai has refused to accept defeat in previous contests against Mugabe, accusing the now 93-year-old veteran president of perpetrating electoral fraud.
Speaking Wednesday at his Harare home after signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Transform Zimbabwe (TZ) leader Jacob Ngarivhume, Tsvangirai said change was imminent.
In April this year, Mr Tsvangirai summoned National People's Party leadership led by former Vice President Dr Joice Mujuru, who gladly obliged and signed the MoU.
MDC leader Professor Welshman Ncube latter went to sign a similar MoU at Mr Tsvangirai's residence, both confirming their underdog status.
In yesterday's signing ceremony, Mr Tsvangirai asserted his superiority complex by reading the riot act on opposition parties, saying there was no equality.
Mr Tsvangirai said his party's national executive met yesterday and had given itself up to end of this month to negotiate coalitions and thereafter focus on election preparations.
"All coalition discussions should end by end of this month and after that the party should now engage in organisational work, which is preparing for elections, building networks," he said.
"We want to capture the 60 percent, what I would call the truant: those who see the crisis affecting them, but doing nothing to contribute to that change. We are saying we need to work with that particular demographic that includes the young voters who are normalising the abnormal; young voters who think selling airtime is normal."
