Tsvangirai to address rally at Zimbabwe Grounds tomorrow

Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai is to address a rally at the Zimbabwe Grounds tomorrow and is expected to speak on the crisis the country is currently facing as well as proposed coalition of opposition parties ahead of the 2018 national elections.

His spokesman Luke Tamborinyoka said Tsvangirai will brief the people on the current fight for electoral reforms as well as publicly deliver a special message to President Mugabe on what he can do in the current dire circumstances if he truly loves this country and its people.

“Tomorrow’s big Harare bash comes in the context of a biting national crisis at a time the party in the seat of government has become radar-less and clueless on how to solve the problems facing the people,” Tamborinyoka said.

“Tomorrow’s rally also comes against the prospect of the imminent introduction of infamous bond-notes; which in reality is the re-introduction of the Zimdollar through the back-door…..”

“Given the sickening poverty around the country, the people can only remember with nostalgia the times of good economic fortune with the MDC’s competent hand on the wheels of government during the era of the inclusive government,” he went on.

“President Tsvangirai will brief the people on the current fight for electoral reforms as well as publicly deliver a special message to President Mugabe on what he can do in the current dire circumstances if he truly loves this country and its people.”

Tsvangirai has previously asked Mugabe to step down in dignity but Mugabe says he has a mandate to fulfill.
