Mugabe can go hang: Opposition

OPPOSITION parties have reacted angrily to comments by President Robert Mugabe that efforts to form a coalition against him were hopeless, especially after the split of Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF).

Mugabe, in his 93rd birthday message, described opposition parties as a “bunch of zeroes that add up to nothing” with no real significance in the political set-up.

He said ZimPF leader, Joice Mujuru, had become insignificant following the fallout with party founding members, reducing her to a nonentity, whose hope was not to form a coalition with MDC-T leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, but just to join the former Premier’s party.
