By A Correspondent| The MDC firebrand, Gift Ostalos Siziba has suspended his campaign for the upcoming MDC congress to focus on rescuing Idai victims.

Ostalos is campaigning for the post of Secretary General in the Youth Assembly.

Ostalos also told ZimEye he was not the one behind the campaign poster floating online in recent days, which was created by one of his supporters.

He also said, “I want to thank all young people who have shown support for my bid to serve as SG of the MDC Youth Assembly.

“Thank you. Thank you so much. But my campaign is less important at this moment than the national disaster we face.

“A young people killed. A young people marooned. A young people swept in dead bodies offshore.

“A young people crying for help. This is more important than my & our SG bid. This requires all focus at this juncture. I therefore suspend all my campaigns this weekend.

“I urge all young energies big or small to be on Cyclone Idai. Not on my campaigns. The nation is more important than us. More important than our campaigns. Life lost can not be recovered. A campaign can be recovered. To God, we pray!’ “
