Tsvangirai has nothing to offer
EDITOR — MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai who recently made headlines for his tours around the country’s provinces has proved that he has nothing tangible to offer to the electorate as election time fast approaches.
From the look of things, people who used to follow Tsvangirai are no longer interested in him owing to his continuous election defeats.
Many are sick and tired of failed politicians like Tsvangirai, who are only interested in enriching themselves at the expense of serving the needs of the electorate. Tsvangirai has his grassroots support long back, hence attempting to retrieve it through his recent aimless tours. Unfortunately, Tsvangirai’s tours did not reap anything meaningful. Instead of inciting traditional leaders and war veterans to revolt against their leaders, Tsvangirai should have proffered solutions to the problems that are being faced by people in the diverse communities he visited. His closed door meetings, press conferences and rallies have all revealed that this opposition party leader is already in an election panicking mode.
To make matters worse, all his gatherings did not come up with issues that bring bread and butter on the people’s tables, instead he only attended to issues that deal with his own political advancement.
Addressing journalists, Tsvangirai said he was commending a group of war veterans who were expelled from the ruling party, Zanu-PF in 2016.
He imprudently claimed that this faction of freedom fighters had seen the light by turning against their patron. Truth be told, Tsvangirai’s utterances are not genuine, but they are just words of a failed politician who is trying to gather support ahead of the next elections. War veterans should not be swayed by Mr Tsvangirai’ politics. The MDC-T leader never fought any war to liberate this country. In fact, the freedom fighters should resist from being used by this embattled leader.
Tsvangirai knows that he lacks war credentials, hence trying hard to accommodate the ex-combatants into his party. Casting a vote for a tired politician like Tsvangirai will be a waste of time and resources.
The electorate should not be duped by Tsvangirai’s sweet talk. It is on record that the ex-premier has a tendency of using people for his personal gains.
As it stands, Tsvangirai lacks proper campaigning strategy. What Tsvangirai knows best is to challenge other politicians who are doing well for the nation.
