Tsvangirai speaks on Mnangagwa's ouster, says it's a security risk

Speaking to South African Broadcasting Corporation in Johannesburg where he had gone for treatment, MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai commented on the ouster of former Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa by President Robert Mugabe and said that it could destabilise national security.

Saod Tsvangirai:

It’s a traumatic experience for the country. You know it’s one thing to dismiss your vice president and it’s another thing when that decision affects the stability of the country. I think it’s a security risk and I find this whole decision certainly not in sync with the imperatives that we are supposed to be confirming. Look Zanu PF is the ruling party, it’s supposed to deal with the critical national questions like the economy, unemployment and poverty that is prevailing in the country. That country should have never reached that level of poverty if Zanu PF had provided a leadership that is necessary.

Tsvangirai said that it would be unfortunate if Grace Mugabe were to succeed her husband.
