"We Will Not Hesitate To Strike": MDC-T Youths Warn Factions Fighting To Succeed Tsvangirai

MDC-T’s youth and women wings have warned officials not to push for party leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s resignation.

MDC youth secretary-general Lovemore Chinoputsa warned leaders who are jostling to succeed the ailing leader. Said Chinoputsa:

There is nothing that has changed that requires us to consider replacing president Tsvangirai. If anything, the needs and aspirations of young people are better served under Tsvangirai. Our senior leaders should desist from jostling for power that is not there. We are watching them, as young people, and we will not hesitate to strike, if need be. Let them move away from fighting each other and this warning goes to all the factions.

MDC-T women’s assembly chairperson Lynette Karenyi supported Tsvangirai’s continued stay in office. MDC-T is reportedly divided between supporters of the three vice-presidents; Nelson Chamisa, Elias Mudzuri and Thokozani Khupe who are reportedly fighting to succeed the ailing former Prime Minister.
