'I'm now broke,' says Tsvangirai

FORMER Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai yesterday said he could no longer assist an MDC-T founder member who died recently because he was broke.

Tsvangirai told mourners at the funeral wake of Freggy "Mutambu" Dhungwa in Mbare, Harare, that the party's supporters should not despair. He again hit out at those pushing for his ouster.

"I would help him here and there, but it happened that I got broke and he also got broke. We will one day get there," said Tsvangirai.

"We will get to Canaan, but these people born in the wilderness have a problem, they don't know how this started.

"No one is against change here, even Zanu-PF people miss us because of what we offered in the government of national unity."

Tsvangirai's lifestyle came under scrutiny after he moved to government built mansion in Highlands from his humble Strathaven family home in Harare. He has also been criticised for spending lavishly on women.
