Is Tsvangirai working with the CIO to engineer a Zanu-PF victory

Tsvangirai's "foot in the mouth disease" guff as one commentator called it must not go unchallenged!
"Ask yourself, had it been me who died and she had survived, what would have happened?," Tsvangirai was recently quoted as saying by the independent press.
"One of the fundamental things is that the main actor doesn't die if the film is still on."
How can President Morgan Tsvangirai say something that in a normal country would cost any presidential aspirant an election victory.
Surely, to choose the memorial service of his late wife to tell the world that it was better she died instead of him because he is the "main actor" in the Zimbabwean drama must have even his most loyal supporters seething with anger and feeling thoroughly abused by a man they have supported for the past decade.
Anyone expecting a man of Tsvangirai's stature to reduce the death of his wife to a film is doomed.
Either Tsvangirai is abnormal or he is now working with the intelligence services to engineer a Zanu-PF victory or both.
Veteran journalist and feminist Grace Mutandwa, reacting on Facebook, said: "After reading that, I just thought WOW! Is he suggesting that Susan was a 'bit' actress so it was okay because the main actor was still there, the show would go on?
"He really needs real advisers not just hangers-on who tell him what he wants to hear. Currying favour got us to where we are now - stuck in IMPUNITY SQUARE."
Well Grace got that one right! If the nation does not wake up and realize where Tsvangirai is taking us with this yes vote than we will all pay very dearly for this folly.
Tsvangirai has been on the forefront with a deliberate agenda over the past decade to make the general population in Zimbabwe suffer as much as possible in order to deliver a protest vote victory for the MDC-T.
Tsvangirai has been complicit in this suffering all along, which is why they denied the existence of sanctions and preferred to say that they supported the "restrictive measures" on Zimbabwe as enshrined in the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act (ZDERA).
I still vividly remember on the 13th of January 2002 when Tsvangirain pleaded for sanctions to be imposed on his country before the presidential election in March 2002.
Tsvangirai pleaded on BBC for South Africa to impose a fuel, transport and electricity blockade.
"I think SA will have to go it alone and do something effective on the ground," he told the British Broadcaster.
"And South Africa should say, 'OK, under those circumstances we are going to cut fuel, we are going to cut transport links'."
Zimbabweans must now stop looking at failed leaders like Tsvangirai for answers to this nightmare.
One should never follow anyone blindly and it is first class folly to an incompetent leader blindly, especially when your own welfare and life and those of so many others is at stake!
What democratic change will Tsvangirai bring to Zimbabwe, is what I would want to know?
