By Farai D Hove| The late MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s firstborn son, Edwin, took a loud swipe at MDC President Nelson describing his complaints about the 2018 election rigging as futile.
Edwin was humiliated during his father’s memorial on Saturday, while ordering Chamisa to stop complaining about electoral fraud. Below is an excerpt of his speech (ALSO WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW):
Edwin: I would like to finish saying Morgan used to know that power which comes without peace is a futile exercise. Power without peace is a futile exercise. To those who are ruling right now and to those who are aspiring for power, power without peace is futile. Because the country of a democratic dispensation cannot prevail in an atmosphere of violence and despair. I shall finish by saying Morgan said himself, to all of us as his children my children I cannot rule the country watching dead bodies in the street. I will have to know when to stop, I will have to stop. I will have to know when to stop and when to proceed. So because of all this let us all conclude by saying our country is not in a good place. But there is Hope. This country is endowed with resources, with abilities, with capacity we must use all our potential for the progress of this country. Let me stress one little point, let me just say this so that you understand this, there is a gratitude I want to extend to those who have made contributions. I want to praise the government I want to praise president (Emmerson Mnangagwa).
