Leader of the MDC and Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, Morgan Tsvangirai, has accused Industry and Commerce Minister Welshman Ncube of leading a "regional party", insisting that his MDC-T party does not need the breakaway faction to dislodge Zanu-PF from power.
"I want to tell you that we won the last election, even if there was a split in the MDC. So it's not an excuse that uniting the two formations is necessarily equals victory. We can still win, we have the support of the people," Tsvangirai said in an interview with a French magazine published on Thursday.
Tsvangirai suggested the two parties could "work together" based on an agreed formula, without necessarily dismantling the dividing line.
"If you were to ask the smaller MDC if we differ in any policy framework, you would find that there is not a huge difference. And I think the people are not deceived by these superficial divisions that sometimes are based on individual, selfish interests and not on the collective good.
"To me it will always be essential to have peace talks; at the appropriate time we will talk to them and find out whether they still feel that they can go it alone.
"Now they have retreated to be regional party; so I don't think that is healthy for uniting the people. So we will have to put that into consideration, as to whether they want to be a national flag or not."
Tsvangirai said: "There's always been a prospect of uniting all progressive anti-Zanu PF formations. But we have tried it before; there were so many excuses and demands that we found unacceptable.
"Uniting the MDC against Zanu PF isn't a panacea for the victory for democratic movement. What is important is that there could be a basis of working together, which we would encourage. We have been very open for a long time.
"The democratic movement is not something that is just confined to the MDC. You have the whole civil society there; people who want to see democracy restored in the country. We have been working very hard to democratise the country and we have champions there, we can work with them."
Tsvangirai's remarks have however opened a can of worms below are comments from different analysts.
"Tsvangirai is not running out of ideas but "cash", he had to say something pleasing to his euro masters to replenish his coffers."
President Abraham Lincoln said: "It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." So we are watching the Tsvangirai space with interest
I seem to remember Mugabe saying the same about Nkomo in 1979/1980 are we on the brink of more of the same if he takes over.
Earlier the lost leader of the MDC-Traitors described the beautiful African people of Matabeleland as being "indisciplined".
Now that same divisive Zim Traitor, and mindless political prostitute of the pale devils, is labeling as "regional party", those whom the citizens of Matabeleland chose as their leader.
Nomatshamu said "Morgani Tswangirai must be in a clear picture from today that the majority of his MPs and almost the entire supporters have read his speech and message that the MDC led by Welshman is a 'Regional Party'. Thus, expect a serious defection of these MPs and supporters as your party has articulated a hidden agenda to be implemented immediately after attaining power.
Ndebele's are very intelligent to read the footsteps of a dictator and killer, thus you are a dictator and a threat to the nation. Your statement has shown that Zimbabweans have no security if your party wins the elections, in that you will perish Welshman Ncube's supporters and officials in order to silence his party so you are not disturbed from the ruling.
Morgan Tsvangirai must know that the divide and rule was introduced by the British on suspicions of a concealed agreement of Zimbabwean Land protection by ZANU PF. thus, it is likely that there could be some form of a concealed agreement of the land issue as ZANU PF breached that. If not what is it!! If Zimbabweans were united this is the time that they should lobby for the abolish of MDC-Tsvangirai not through the government but through other means.
Every man is wise till they open their mouth. Honestly, how on earth is MDC-T gonna beat Zanu-PF without Matabeleland?
