MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa has said he has the
solutions to the country’s deepening economic crisis that has seen the
shortages of fuel emerging and prices of commodities skyrocket since last week.
Addressing mourners at the burial of Casper Tsvangirai,
younger brother of the late MDC founding leader Morgan Tsvangirai, in Buhera
yesterday, Chamisa said President Emmerson Mnangagwa was unable to resolve the
country’s economic challenges because of the curse of illegitimacy stalking his
government after rigging the July 30 polls.
MDC officials who attended the funeral told NewsDay that
Chamisa said Mnangagwa’s refusal to hand over power to him was the reason why
the economy was in a tailspin.
“Our president (Chamisa) was clear that he has the
solutions to solve the economic crisis in the country. He said Zanu PF can rig
the elections, but it cannot rig the economy,” MDC chairperson for Manicaland
David Chimhini said.
“The president is happy with the support he got during
elections, but we know that it was massively rigged.”
Chamisa reportedly skirted the issue of Mnangagwa’s offer
to make him an official leader of the opposition, insisting he beat his
political nemesis and deserved a chance at State House.
“The president said he did not want to turn the funeral
wake into a rally, but wanted to show support to the Tsvangirai family which
was well-attended,” explained Chimhini.
The burial was attended by the MDC Alliance officials who
included Douglas Mwonzora, youth chairperson Happymore Chidziva and national
organising secretary Amos Chibaya, among others. Newsday
