For him to believe his ticket to success in next years elections is via support from civil organisations et al, and without the Mutambara group, is indeed grossly naive and a pointer to traces of arrogance. It should be known that the coalition agreement drawn up between the split parties, an effort primarily driven by Tsvangirai’s scribes in an attempt to bring the two groups together, is oddly rejected by Tsvangirai himself. Given this, and the fundamental fact that the current MDC status quo is a guarantee of an holistic election loss, moves are underway to strongly petition the two groups to agree to disagree, but re-unite as one party for for the sake of the future of Zimbabwe, and not for the sake of what glory hunter gets what position of power should the MDC win the election. Divided, there would be no point in an election. Failure by the two groups to summarily set their differences aside, it is planned that a call to boycott voting for each group of the MDC will be put in place. Seems the MDC have no choice really, particularly a seemingly immovable Tsvangirai, who must learn that the country comes first, not the company.

One is the Save Zimbabwe Campaign. I found it rather disheartening to read that the leader of our largest opposition party is “pinning his hopes” on a seemingly fictitious coalition of civic organizations acting under the rather worn out name of the Save Zimbabwe Campaign. What does this say about Tsvangirai’s vision of his own political party and their ability to seriously challenge Mugabe? Of course whilst I completely agree that its time that pro-democracy forces within civil society support the MDC’s call for political change, I wonder what exactly about the Save Zimbabwe Campaign gives Tsvangirai all this hope and confidence? Have you had the opportunity to meet the leaders of the Save Zimbabwe Campaign? Have they encouraged your participation in the formulation of civic campaigns? Have you attended one of their events? Do you know how and where to contact them if you wanted to get involved and find out more? [...]
