MDC-T deeply in the red, begs for donor support

Former Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's MDC-T is deeply in the red and early this month extended a begging bowl to a group of diplomats, commonly known as the Fishmongers, seeking money to oil administration.

Sources within the opposition party said the MDC-T is in a precarious financial position.

Diplomatic sources in Harare last week said a team from the MDC-T led by secretary-general, Douglas Mwonzora and party treasurer-general Theresa Makone met with envoys from Britain, the United States, Australia Japan, Germany, France, Sweden, Holland, Norway and Canada to seek financial assistance.
