Tsvangirai's MDC-T has been criticised for trying to hijack #ThisFlag. One campaigner today said "I don't like the vibe how political parties will now try to hijack the whole #ThisFlag atmosphere prevailing right. Not cool."
Scores of Morgan Tsvangirai supporters thronged the party's headquarters in Harare today to welcome him back following a long absence due to illness. There are reports of MDC-T youths demonstrating in Harare.
Tsvangirai's spokesperson, Luke Tamborinyoka, said that the former prime minister in the government of national unity and President Robert Mugabe's chief rival ahead of the eagerly anticipated 2018 national elections, had been spurred into action by the ever deteriorating situation in the country.
"President Tsvangirai is taking the current national situation very seriously, hence his convening the two important meetings of the top organs of the party," he said.
Tsvangirai and the MDC-T are expected to come up with resolutions on how they will respond to the prevailing situation.
"The clampdown on citizens for exercising their constitutional rights, the failure by the government to pay civil servants and the collapse of the economy are some of the issues set for discussion.
"The two organs of the party will determine our national response to the crisis, as we witness the end game," Tamborinyoka added.
