Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s MDC-T party has reacted with fury at a recent Herald news article claimed Tsvangirai conducted a meeting in Bindura at a time when the PM was out of the country visiting Kenya.
The Herald article published yesterday claimed that Tsvangirai had held a crisis meeting in Bindura where according to the Herald, ‘some MDC-T executive members, who were plotting unseat Mr Tsvangirai through the Constitution-making process, were irked by the involvement of the principals in the process. This prompted Mr Tsvangirai, through his spokesperson Mr William Bango, to tell his lieutenants that principals have always been part of the Constitution-making process through the management committee which is not a provision of the GPA,’ the article in yesterday’s Herald newspaper stated.
But the MDC-T party has issued a statement proving that Tsvangirai was not even in the country during the time of the said meeting.
The party castigated the Herald saying it is pursuing a mere ZANU PF agenda as it misinforms readers publishing falsehoods in order to tarnish the MDC-T party. It blasted the Herald for “blatant yellow journalism and gross misinformation.”
The statement read in part:
The MDC is appalled by the blatant yellow journalism and gross misinformation in the Herald of today (11/12/12) that the MDC National Executive met in Bindura at the weekend purportedly to clear internal problems over the role of principals in the Constitution making process.
For the record, no such meeting by the Executive took place in Bindura since the President was out of the country on a visit to Kenya on official business.
Secondly there has never been any internal problem regarding the issue alluded to in the Herald to warrant an Executive meeting.
The MDC implores the Zanu PF mouthpiece, the Herald and its journalists, to verify their stories first before publishing. The unprofessional conduct as exuded by the Herald is certainly not consistent with ethics guiding the conduct of journalists and is therefore unacceptable.
The good thing about the people of Zimbabwe is that they will never be swayed by Zanu PF or their propaganda mouthpieces into believing their lies. Zimbabweans have soared way above petty politicking and have diverted their attention to the real issues of pushing for a new constitution to be nationally adopted.
Tsvangirai was at the time of the said meeting visiting Kenya and decided to cut short his trip after hearing of news that Home Affairs Minister Theresa Makone’s daughter had died of suicide. It was only then that Tsvangirai returned

  8. The only reason why the Rhodesia Herald is still in circulation is because its the toilet paper for most households in the ghetto.

  9. Iro Tsandog dofo remakoko reZanu. He epitomizes the low levels of intelligence in his sunset party. If you are going to lie, at least get the story consistent. We know the herald is a useless publication full of lies but surely even this is now embarrassing. You can twist things here and there and exaggerate here and there, we all know journalists do it, but to lie outright about an event that never took place? Are they living in April fool’s day everyday these idiots. Bla Dog, you are the avid reader of that useless publication, tell us!

  10. Tsano mughodhoii wako.dofo remunhu.Instead of taking note of blue lies u utter rubish.pootseke mfana.
