{{Zimbabwe’s main opposition party MDC-T has conceded that the party alone cannot guarantee the future of Zimbabwe without Zanu-PF and President Mugabe.}}<\/p>\n
The statement was made by Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai while addressing his supporters at Tsvovani Stadium in Chiredzi.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the future of this country, it is dependent on Zanu-PF and MDC . . . for the future stability of this country, it is between Morgan Tsvangirai and President Mugabe to ensure that this country moves forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Tsvangirai who has been primed by his handlers to call for security sector reforms, said he would not fire any servicemen should he assume power.<\/p>\n
Mr Tsvangirai, who is also Prime Minister in the inclusive Government, left his supporters in stitches when he said smaller parties were insignificant and not deciding factors.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the MDC we do not hate anyone in the army or the police. What we simply want is for them to be professional. They are the future of this country. We will not sack anyone when we get into power . . . where will we get other soldiers?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Earlier on, the party\u2019s Masvingo provincial chairman Mr Wilstaff Sitemere had decried serious factionalism tearing the party apart. <\/p>\n
There were reports of aspiring legislators busing their supporters to register as voters.<\/p>\n
MDC-T officials in Masvingo said there was rampant indiscipline in the party where candidates employed unorthodox means such as creating fake membership cards to ensure they got approval to contest in primaries.<\/p>\n
