MDC Alliance criticised for asking Trump for help ahead of 2018 elections

MDC Alliance has been criticised for approaching Donald Trump’s administration for assistance to pressurise President Emmerson Mnangagwa to put electoral reforms to ensure free and fair elections in 2018.

Norton MP, Temba Mliswa said that MDC Alliance should have approached Mnangagwa first before lobbying Trump. Said Mliswa:

They are not for the good of Zimbabweans. They are for themselves. They have not talked to the current President yet they rush to engage America. They must understand that we are a sovereign nation and so is America. They did not even engage Sadc or the AU. They have made Sadc and the AU useless. They are totally not pan-Africanists. The West is looking for partners and not puppets. It is sad.

Political analyst, Mr Goodwine Mureriwa, said the MDC was misdirecting its efforts. aid Mureriwa:

They are misdirecting their efforts. When Zanu-PF is gearing itself for elections by going for Congress this week to confirm their Presidential candidate, when it is encouraging its supporters to register to vote and when it is in the electoral mode, they (MDCs) are not doing the same. They are going outside to look for money but money does not vote.

Another political analyst, Mr Tafadzwa Mugwadi who is based in Tanzania accused the MDC Alliance of being interested in funding. Said Mugwadi:

Zimbabweans must be vigilant to repel this sanctions-mongering lot in the MDC. It is shocking that instead of contributing to the success of our new dispensation, the MDC is busy taking its begging bowl to its paymasters in their false hope of salvaging a clinically dead carcass. It is even more shameful that they are double dipping since they also get funded under the Political Parties Finance Act from Government. Unfortunately, they have learnt nothing and forgotten nothing since 2002 and come 2018, the writing is on the wall. President Mnangagwa is the only game in town.
