Mugabe says Tsvangirai is a cry baby

President Robert Mugabe mocked Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai describing him as a cry baby. “Listen to what the MDC-T leader says, he is opposed to everything, he is crying every day. Just now, Madam Zuma came from the AU, she is the chairperson of the commission, she listened to what other observers were saying and made a statement to say things are going on well. No, things are not going well says Tsvangirai, crying all the time. He did not want elections. Parliament expired on June 29 but he says no no no, let us continue, there are other outstanding issues so we cannot have an election. We can’t have an election, yet the constitution says we must have elections every five years. What sort of a leader are you?”
