Zanu PF revels on MDC-T split

Zanu PF deputy director for information Psychology Maziwisa says the suspension of MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai at the weekend by the Tendai Biti led faction shows that the former Prime Minister has been abandoned by his western backers.

"There are two very basic observations that can be drawn from the on-going MDC circus. The first is that the very people who created Morgan Tsvangirai are out to destroy him because they believe he is no longer capable of advancing the regime change project in Zimbabwe- having failed not once, not twice but more than three times," Maziwisa said.

"And so they have connived with the so-called renewal team, who should not at all be seen as the engineers of this coup but mere fronts, to overthrow poor Tsvangirai."

Maziwisa said Tsvangirai's snub was evident when his, "Independence Day message a week or so ago, for instance, was only covered by a discredited online newspaper, Nehanda Radio- as opposed to the news of his suspension which was swiftly covered by the BBC, Al Jazeera, Reuters, Bloomberg, SABC, the Telegraph, the Guardian, BellingHam Herald, Eye Witness etc.

"The second observation is that this circus has demonstrated to the people of Zimbabwe that not only does the MDC lack the policies needed to improve the welfare of the Zimbabwean people, they lack the unity of purpose and cohesion needed to win elections in Zimbabwe especially against a party like ZANU PF with unity as part of its founding values," Maziwisa said.

"At the end of it all, there is only one conclusion to be drawn from all this: and that is that, at least for the next 100 years, the Zimbabwean political landscape will be dominated by one party and that party is Zanu PF."
