Zimbabwe: Tsvangirai's Message - Setting the Record Straight

press release

As expected, the state media has now started a crusade of trying to bring disharmony among the opposition political parties. So frightened of the possibility of the convergence of these parties, are the state apparatus that they have now devoted time to misrepresent facts in order to sow seeds of discord within individual political parties as well as among opposition political parties.

The latest attempt by the state is the attempt to play off the People First against the MDC. In the preceding few weeks the state media has run false stories about MDC members purportedly leaving the MDC to join the People First. In this regard they have portrayed the People First as a party bend on poaching supporters not from Zanu PF but from the opposition. They have paraded names of people who long left the MDC for other political parties and have since purportedly joined the People First as coming straight from the MDC to the People First.
