Nkomo more than a week ago said Zanu (PF) regretted joining the inclusive government saying the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) was out to reverse the gains of independence. He said it was a grave mistake to enter into an agreement with the MDC.??
But in a statement, the MDC said Nkomo should not be taken seriously saying the unelected Nkomo has chosen to be a purveyor of acrimony instead of being an agent of national healing.??
The MDC dismisses statements by Zanu (PF)s John Nkomo in Esigodini, Matabeleland South recently, as reckless, irresponsible and misbegotten. Mr Nkomo should count himself lucky for being the countrys vice president following the thwarting of his party in the 2008 general election.??
It was through the magnanimity of the MDC and the people of Zimbabwe that people like Nkomo are still occupying offices in Government. For the unelected people to then try and deceive the people in the rural areas saying it was out of Zanu (PF)s benevolence that the GPA came into existence is regrettable, much as it is dishonest.
The MDC said instead of promoting divisions and hatred among the people, Nkomo should be focusing on how to provide fertilizers and other agricultural inputs that top on the lists of Zimbabweans basic requirements.
Tsvangirais party reminded Nkomo that the inclusive government was a temporary arrangement whose sole purpose was to pull Zimbabwe out of political and economic crisis after years Zanu (PF) bungling.
Since President Robert Mugabe announced that elections will be held next year, Zanu (PF) and the MDC have been trading insults with Tsvangirai recently revealing that he had now spent more than a month without talking to Mugabe. Tsvangirai went on to describe Mugabe as a crook and dishonest individual.
