It’s unbeliavable that Biti of all people should now talk about Tsvangirai’s failure as if Tsvangirai was a lone ranger in that struggle for democracy. If Biti wants to be sincere he must also shoulder the blame. What he is describing as Mugabe’s failure is another form of someone who is trying political grand standing. Biti benefitted from Mugabe’s free education policies now he hypocritically stands to condemn those policies. Is land reform a failure? Is Zim Asset a failure before its tenure of implementation? Biti just try your luck running the renewal team may be it’s too early for you to start throwing stones from within your glass house. Be advised.Democracy does not come by being a sell-out. That is why Tsvangirai failed. He failed to sell his birthright too.- By Kenneth Chivizhe
