Gweru-Zimbabwe-It is a hot mid-morning Sunday in Zimbabwe’s third largest city, Gweru. Hordes of people fill the narrow tarred road leading to Mkoba stadium. One would mistakenly think that people are attending a big church service. But a further probe in the sports arena will find a birthday bash for a nine-year-old baby. That “little one” is the Movement for Democratic Change party celebrating nine years of existence today, in a bid to dislodge a revolutionary party, Zanu PF, led by 84-year-old Robert Mugabe.
MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai said to the gathering at the rally that the delay in the signing of the talks between his party and Zanu PF is because Mugabe does not want to cede “sufficient” powers to him.
