Zimbabwe’s Movement for Democratic Change and Zanu-PF are both contemplating their next move with the unity government under pressure.
The country’s Agriculture Deputy Minister-designate Roy Bennett is facing terrorism charges.
This has prompted Zimbabwe’s Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai to announce the MDC is politically disengaging from Zanu-PF.
Tsvangirai labeled the Zanu-PF ’unreliable’.
Bennet says the MDC just want to move forward.
“It hurts because all we are trying to do is deliver a nation to our people. Yet you have a side that is totally insincere, all it wants to do is hold on to fire, remain with the corruption, repression…and therefore the country suffers as a state and the people suffer,” he said.
Zanu-PF’s Bright Matonga says the MDC is just seeking unnecessary attention.
“Bennet is a popular figure, his case has been internationalised and this is just a ploy to sway people from the charge,” Matonga said.
