MASVINGO – The main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T) leader Morgan Tsvangirai is in Masvingo to meet with Zimbabweans and grassroots structures of the party in the province.
Tsvangirai kicked off his Masvingo tour with a well-attended meeting in Bikita yesterday. Today, he will be in Gutu before proceeding to Chivi for further meetings and public engagements tomorrow. He will proceed to Mashava on Friday.
Tsvangirai will use the opportunity of this visit to Masvingo to assess the food situation in the province, which is one of the worst affected by the drought that has once again resulted in an alarming food insecurity situation in the country.
Tsvangirai said it is the height of insensitivity for President Robert Mugabe to host his $1 million birthday bash in Masvingo for his 92nd birthday.
“Given the hunger and starvation stalking the province, Mugabe’s million-dollar birthday bash will be akin to hosting a lavish party at a funeral,” Tsvangirai said.
The MDC-T leader will wind up his tour of Masvingo with a meeting of party structures in Chiredzi on Sunday.
