The opposition MDC does not consider Saviour Kasukuwere a threat to its support base as he is a creation of the ruling ZANU PF party.
MDC president Nelson Chamisa’s spokesperson Nkululeko Sibanda refused to comment much on Kasukuwere’s “Tyson Wabantu” movement. Speaking To NewsDay on Friday, Sibanda said:
We don’t have to comment on that. Kasukuwere is former Zanu PF or Zanu PF, I think a comment from there would suffice. The MDC has had Kasukuwere as a political opponent. You know how we won elections when he was in politics. Why is that question even relevant?
Kasukuwere is a former ZANU PF bigwig and has been living in self-imposed exile in South Africa since the November 2017 military coup.
His movement, consisting of disgruntled former ZANU PF supporters, distributed flyers and T-shirts branded “Tyson Wabantu” in Bulawayo’s suburbs on Thursday.
Hazvirambidzwe Mr Tyson. You know the truth. Outside Zanu PF, it’s cold and you can’t survive as long as you were once a part cadre.
