nted by Zanu (PF) and development as represented by the MDC, reports party spokesman Nelson Chamisa.
Tsvangirai announced the launch of his party’s Presidential and Parliamentary campaign in September. The party will use the launch not only to show its solid grassroots support but to unveil its social and economic programmes.
Riot police and army vehicles patrolled the streets of Kuwadzana on Saturday night and early Sunday morning intimidating people and telling them to attend an impromptu Zanu (PF) function meant to disrupt the MDC rally. The Zanu function, addressed by Harare metropolitan governor David Karimanzira, and provincial chairman Amos Midzi, among others, was meant to dole out taxpayers money for the ruling party supporters’ “projects.”
“We deplore the politics of violence that characterises Zanu (PF). We deplore the politics of force-marching people to Zanu rallies. We are against the politics of bribing voters. The MDC has a tradition of going back to the voters for report back meetings while Zanu (PF) has this penchant for doling out “loans” to bribe voters ahead of national elections. The people of Zimbabwe want to work for themselves,” said Tsvangirai.
On Saturday, about 8 000 people turned for a rally in Budiriro and were addressed by the provincial leadership and Hon Emmanuel Chisvuure, the local MP.
