MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai on Thursday said he was humbled by the massive turn up of his supporters for a successful peaceful demonstration against the “brutal” Zanu PF regime.
The MDC-T staged a demonstration upon which it was expressing concern on the mysterious “missing” $15 billion diamond revenue.
The demonstration was initially called off by the police and preceded after the Kennedy Masiye and Sharon Hofisi from the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights on Wednesday mounted a challenge against the ban.
On his Twitter handle after the march Tsvangirai wrote, “Thank you so much for showing up and demonstrating in peace against this brutal regime”.
Feeling threatened by the huge crowd the MDC-T leader still has Zanu PF propagandist and spin doctor Professor Jonathan Moyo downplayed the former Premier calling the demonstration as anti nationalism.
“MDC-T demonstrations against spirit of independence? Misfits of society. Three days to go before the historic day!,”Moyo wrote on his twitter handle.
The police during the peaceful demonstration arrested MDC-T MP for Bulawayo East, Thabitha Khumalo for unspecified reasons. This came after another senior Tsvangirai lieutenant and Harare West, MP Jessie Majome had received death threats the night before ordering her not to participate in the Harare protest march.
