The story in todays issue of The Financial Gazette claiming that President Morgan Tsvangirai For the record, MDC and President Tsvangirai are firmly focused on the partys agenda for real change; to stabilize the economy; to create jobs; and to ensure that democracy flourishes in Zimbabwe. President Tsvangirais invaluable soft-power to let democracy sit down; to allow Zimbabweans to reclaim their democratic space and national dignity remains the MDCs foundation of vibrancy and strength. Since President Tsvangirai humiliated Robert Mugabe and the former ruling party, Zanu PF, in the 29 March 2008 elections, the party is clear about its roadmap to a new Zimbabwe.
At the MDCs 2006 historic congress, the people tasked their newly elected leadership with a specific agenda to take the nation out of a deep crisis of governance. The party set out specific benchmarks to measure progress and the people are confident that the MDC remains on the right track. The MDC, working together with the people, will continue to lead until change becomes a reality. The issues dominating debate in the MDC are anchored on the peoples agenda for real change; for good governance; for a prosperous Zimbabwe; and for a violence-free society. Anything else, outside these basic needs, has yet to find a place in the dominant discourse inside the party.
For the avoidance of confusion, the MDC shall hold its congress in line with the dictates of the Partys constitution and as re-emphasised by the National Council at its last meeting in Kadoma. Furthermore, the MDC family is happy and comfortable with the leadership and stewardship of president Tsvangirai and the real change team. Any insinuation of imaginary discord in the Party shall remain a figment of the imagination of the authors of such. It is not surprising that those who oppose real change will come up with all sorts of conspiracies and counter conspiracies bent on confusing and way laying the agenda for real change.
Fortunately, the collective intelligence of the Zimbabweans and indeed the MDC family shall not be misled by such cheap machinations.
