By Own Correspondent- The opposition MDC led by Dr Thokozani Khupe has turned down an invitation from the Nelson Chamisa led MDC to attend the party’s National Congress slated for May.

The response follows an invitation to both the Khupe led faction and ruling party ZANU PF-affiliated war veterans association to its 24-26 elective Congress set to be held in Gweru.

The invitation was revealed by the party’s national organising secretary, Mkoba MP Amos Chibaya and the secretary for information, Jacob Mafume last week.

However, MDC-T vice president Obert Gutu dismissed the invitation, calling the MDC Congress kindergarten gibberish.

Said Gutu:

At any rate, the MDC-T has got completely no appetite to attending kindergarten gibberish.

If we want real entertainment, we go to a circus and not to a facade of a gathering disguised as a congress.

There is the High Court order by Honourable Justice Edith Mushore to contend with.

We are a law-abiding political party that resolutely believes in the rule of law and constitutionalism. We adhere to democracy and not mobocracy.

Why should we be seen hanging around with that lot? No, that won’t happen until the second coming of the Son of Man. We are perfectly happy where we are.

Let them wine and dine using the money they are getting from Robert Mugabe and Grace Mugabe. The chickens are coming home to roost. It’s not a congress, it’s actually a complete dog’s breakfast.”-DailyNews
