MDC Tsvangirai attracts huge crowd

Mr Morgan Tsvangirai, Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) main faction leader proved his popularity in Zimbabwean politics last Sunday when his star rally at Mucheke Stadium attracted over 15 000 people.
A few hours earlier at the same venue Dr Simba Makoni held a star rally at the same venue that attracted slightly above 5000 people.
Analysts said Tsvangirai attracted more people at Mucheke Stadium than Makoni as he already had put some structures on the ground.
Even the old people at the MDC rally said they had never witnessed an opposition party attracting a huge crowd like what happened on Sunday.
Addressing people, Mr Tsvangirai said that victory was certain as Zanu PF has been exhausted of all ideas that can help the people.
“No one in his right senses would vote for Zanu PF. Zanu PF have nothing new to offer the people. MDC is the only party which has the solutions to the current crisis. What 25 years of war failed to do, Zanu PF’s 25 years of ruling did the worse,” he said.
Speaker after speaker blasted the ruling party for incompetence and being accountable for the economic collapse in the country.
With the country on its knees, Mr Tsvangirai believes that the forthcoming elections are just a formality as God has already approved his victory.
“Rwendo rwuno hazvikoni nekuti ndezvashe,” ( this time it’s inevitable because it is of God), he said.
Mr Tsvangirai ruled out the election cheating and rigging processes saying that some senior members from Zanu PF’s high ranks have already tipped him on how to guard against rigging.
He also said that senior Zanu PF officials approached him on several occasions praising him for giving pressure on President Mugabe saying that Zanu PF is already split because most people in the ruling party also need the change of government and are ready for it.
“They come to me and encourage me to unleash more pressure on Zanu PF. They are tired of Zanu PF themselves and they even tip me on how to guard against election rigging,” he said.
In the new Zimbabwe, Mr Tsvangirai promised free primary education, respect of the rule of law, opening investment opportunities, professionalism among all civil servants and restoration of dignity of the people of Zimbabwe.
Within the first two years in office, Mr Tsvangirai’s government would make sure that a new constitution which is people driven will be effected.
“Most people think that I will recruit new police, soldiers and CIOs. No. I will only make sure that these people become more professional and be satisfied with their salaries. I will upgrade their living and working standards.
“All problems will be solved in the first two years,” Mr Tsvangirai promised.
Despite being exposed into direct sunshine, supporters interviewed said that they never regretted going to the rally. The MDC held a number of successful rallies across Masvingo province during the weekend.
