West’s bid to rebrand Tsvangirai exposed
Sydney Kawadza Assistant News Editor
MDC-T leader Mr Morgan Tsvangirai’s attacks on nationalists are inspired by his sponsors who are trying to rebrand him as a new African leader to pursue their neo-colonial agenda.
Mr Tsvangirai has been attacking African nationalists at various forums and recently took his attacks home calling for a “third revolution” against liberation heroes.
Australian premier Julia Gillard recently torched a storm when she put the MDC-T leader in the pantheon of South Africa’s founding president Nelson Mandela.
However, political analysts said Mr Tsvangirai’s attacks were not original as shown by his utterances after attending a white-dominated book launch where he started parroting the book title.
Addressing delegates at the launch of “Africa’s Third Liberation”, a book written by Geoff Hurst and Greg Mills, Mr Tsvangirai accused African liberators of betraying the ideals of the fight against colonialism.
“They (Africa’s liberators) went into office without a plan and today, the new crop of African leaders has to deal with the economy to provide jobs to the millions of our young people,” he said.
The launch also drew Malawi President Joyce Banda, South African opposition leader Ms Helen Zille of the Democratic Alliance and members of the Oppenheimer family. The Oppenheimers are opposed to Zimbabwe’s indigenisation policies, especially in the mining sector.
