President Robert Mugabe today described Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai as a mad man for refusing to accept his election defeat on 31 July.”We won elections, now Mr Tsvangirai is running around saying he was cheated. I don’t think he is normal. He is as good as mad. He is running to London and has been to TB Joshua seeking prayers. But you cannot pray for a person who is bent on wrong-doing. He knows he lost but he says we stole the vote. If someone tells such lies and goes to the pastor to say pray for me, God will not listen to such a prayer. You know you are telling a lie and you kneel down asking God to give you blessings. Unless you know how to be honest, truthful and frank and admit your mistakes, God will not listen to you.”
