Storm brews over Tsvangirai’s car

SHARP divisions have reportedly emerged within the opposition MDC-T’s top leadership on whether to buy an all-terrain vehicle from local car dealers or buy it from outside the country.

The party reportedly resolved to buy Tsvangirai a 4×4 vehicle at a cost of $80 000 following reports that his “battered Mercedes-Benz” allocated during his tenure as Prime Minister in the inclusive government had outlived its lifespan and broke down quite often.

Party sources said the top leadership was failing to agree over where to source the vehicle from amid reports that some MDC-T hawks were already angling themselves as car dealers in order to cash in on the transation.
