After realising that no any businesspeople were turning up for the much hyped business meeting at Binga Growth Point, Mr Tsvangirai’s henchmen attempted to save face by hastily arranging a rally.
The rally too turned into a flop at Binga Rest Lodge after a small crowd bothered to attend.
Some of the businesspeople in Binga told the Herald that the aborted business meeting was going to be nothing, but a mere talk show to peddle MDC-T propaganda.
Mr Tsvangirai, who is also the MDC-T leader, was accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister Thokozani Khupe who is his vice in the party and other MDC-T senior officials.
The consultative business meeting was expected to start at 10am, but Mr Tsvangirai had to delay pitching up at the venue in a vain hope that people would eventually pitch up.
When Mr Tsvangirai eventually arrived at 14.30pm, staff from his office said the business consultative meeting would be held after a party meeting at Binga Rest Lodge.
The media was barred from attending the Rest Lodge meeting since it was an internal party meeting.
