HARARE - Morgan Tsvangirai’s spin-doctor, Luke Tamborinyoka, this week poured scorn at the MDC secretary-general Tendai Biti’s assertion that Zanu PF had a sexy electoral message that helped it win the general elections last year.
“There is no stranger assertion than the fallacy that Zanu PF deservedly won the July 31 election because it had a superior message and an appealing narrative,” Tsvangirai’s spokesperson Tamborinyoka said.
Tamboriyoka said the MDC has a dossier chronicling how the last election was stolen, chronicling the military and political structure that was at the centre of rigging.
He said the dossier explains in detail the $100 million election theft project where scarce money was used to steal the people’s mandate.
“What is more tragic is that the fallacy is coming from none other than the secretary-general of the MDC; a party that has abundant evidence that the last election was a monumental fraud,” Tamborinyoka said.
He said the Zanu PF’s bhora mugedhi was not even an electoral message but a catch phrase — directed to those who had played a bhora musango campaign in the 2008 election — where Mugabe lost in constituencies which were in some cases won by his own MPs.
“It was a simple (Zanu PF) catch-phrase not even a message for the few renegade candidates who would have thought of campaigning for themselves, leaving Mugabe in the lurch as some had reportedly done in 2008,” said the former premier’s spokesperson.
Detailing examples of how the elections were allegedly stolen he said “it is baffling to hear him (Biti) exonerating the devil (Zanu PF) from the commission of sin.”
“The MDC secretary-general knows that we went for the election without a voters’ roll and it is him who wrote several times to Zec (Zimbabwe Electoral Commission) complaining about the non-availability of critical voter information,” Tamborinyoka said.
“It opens up people’s minds to many dark possibilities which some of us would swear are not true.”
Tamborinyoka added: “Right now, Zimbabweans are broke and the talk in the villages and in urban townships is that bhora mugedhi without dhora mubhegi makes no sense and brings no positive difference at all in people’s lives.” Daily News
