By Farai D Hove| MDC Alliance principal, Tendai Biti yesterday said the November military coup was unconstitutional.

Biti was speaking at the MDC Alliance rally in Tembisa.

He said the upcoming election, “is the most important election of our lifetime, iwe neni, because it is an election to wrestle away power from those who seized it unconstitutionally in November 2017 back to the people of Zimbabwe.”

He began by saying, “our message this afternoon as the message of the Alliance is very simple. It is time that we transformed our country, it is time that we created opportunities in our country, that all of us we go back home and live a prosperous life. so we have three things.”

Biti then spoke on what he referred to as, “TOP” -transformation, opportunities, and prosperity.’

“It’s a top agenda, TOP said Biti. In November 2017, a military coup took place in our country led by Emmerson Mnangagwa. But this coup was not the first coup to take place in our country. We know there was another coup to prevent Morgan Tsvangirai from becoming President Of Zimbabwe in June 2008.

“So this election, the election of 2018, is the most important election of our lifetime, iwe neni, because it is an election to wrestle away power from those who seized it unconstitutionally in November 2017 back to the people of Zimbabwe, you and me; But this election is also to finish the unfinished business of the liberation struggle.

“This election is also to undo the wrongs of ZANU PF, the crimes of commission, the crimes of omission. Zvinotirwadza, I look at you and say what are you here in this country? You are are here, and we are here because we have a country that stopped treating us as citizens…that has forced us in our millions to leave Zimbabwe to live in this difficult country. I know some of you are domestic workers, some of you are waiters in restaurants.”
