via Mugabe will die a villain, says Tsvangirai – NewsDay Zimbabwe March 10, 2015
MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai has warned President Robert Mugabe that he risked dying a “villain” over his failure to tame the socio-economic crisis currently rocking the country.
Addressing thousands of party supporters at a rally at Zimbabwe Grounds in Highfield, Harare, over the weekend, Tsvangirai said opposition parties had stopped fighting Mugabe, but were now concentrating on the post-Mugabe era.
“Mugabe is finished, let’s not talk about him. Let’s discuss the country beyond Mugabe and whether the country can get stability and job opportunities,” Tsvangirai said. “The only option Baba Chatunga has is to say ‘I am old and let me die a hero and do well for the people of Zimbabwe’. Now you are a villain who has destroyed the people’s aspirations and hope.”
Tsvangirai said Mugabe was too old to confront the challenges the country was facing.
He urged his supporters to join the “action” and unity from all opposition forces to fight for the good of the country suffering decay and despair as evidenced during his tour of Hopley, Gweru, Chitungwiza and other areas.
“Those who are young in the party are saying: ‘You are old and you should rest’, but they are now accused of wanting to assassinate him yet they want the country to move forward. At that age, you want to die in office yet those who are 30, 40 or 60 are being fired. Can we say you are normal? No wonder why the crisis is there. There is no longer leadership in Zanu PF,” Tsvangirai said.
The ex-Premier added that Mugabe’s recent threats to grab the remaining white commercial farmers’ properties and his weekend attack on judges had firmly confirmed Zimbabwe as an unsafe investment destination.

Morgan , Bob has advanced dementia. He should be in an old age home playing dice with his ghosts.
Fixing the economy would not exonerate Mugabe from being a villain, Morgan.
That’s one of the many things Tsvangirai really has to wake up to.
Bob has been a villain from day one. Look how he played havoc with ZAPU in the sixties to form ZANU and then how he proceeded to sweep everyone and everything aside in the ascendancy of brand Bob.
As has been mentioned, fixing the economy is not going to exonerate this demagogue.
So, wake up Tsvangirai. Bob is not going to listen to you or anyone else.
Just concentrate on motivating the people to shake off their stupor and do something about this evil masquerading as a government, i.e. get rid of it.
To do that needs sacrifice. Sacrifice like the recently abducted Dzamara, who is probably going to be out of the Zimbo’s radar before very long.
I regret to announce Ngoto that Dzamara is no longer of this world, as you predicted. The tyre fire they lit on him by the roadside in Ruwa did not complete the job. He was still recognizable.
