A high-level diplomatic source has told City Press that the SADC told Tsvangirai at a summit in Maputo in June not to take part in the elections.
“This was the only way the elections could be delayed so concerns about the reforms of the security sector could be addressed,” said a government aide with close knowledge of the meeting.
The claim was corroborated by a separate source, who was briefed about the meeting.
But the second source said: “The MDC-T didn’t want to (pull out) because they were convinced that they would win the elections.”
On Tuesday night, just hours before voting started, Tsvangirai told a member of the SADC’s observer mission they were expecting more than 70% of the vote.

If this is the truth then this goes on to show that MDC T are no more than amateur hour at some comedy show. It also goes on to prove that a very good education is a dire necessity for those who aspire to reach the highest offices in the land. They endorsed the process and now they are crying foul, my God !
