Zimbabwe’s main opposition, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party youths have called on long-time leader Morgan Tsvangirai to step aside in order to allow new leaders to take the party forward, says a report.
According to NewsDay, an MDC Matabeleland South youth leader Archibald Nyamayaro said that the party needed to “shift its mind set and its approach” in order to win the forthcoming election.
Nyamayaro said that the party could be relegated to irrelevance as the country’s new President Emmerson Mnangagwa was making inroads with his promise for change.
He said that the party’s only leader since its formation in 1999 was not in good health and therefore, it was time for young blood to take over constitutionally.
Nyamayaro said the party couldn’t talk about electoral reforms when the MDC-T itself could not reform as a political grouping.
“Although there is need of supporting and engaging on transitional issues, we owe the party an identity. We need to be visible; we need a new face to rejuvenate us not by disrespecting our party president. This is food for thought, which should be digested and acted upon in good time,” Nyamayaro was quoted saying.
This came as Tsvangirai’s long time rival Robert Mugabe was forced out of office last week.

Nyamayaro you are talking sense my brother don’t be afraid to say the truth. Tsvangirai has done so much for the opposing voices we respect what he has achieved for all of us. The game is now on another level. We now need an energetic , healthy and well focused person to take opposing views forward. We appreciate the changes in Zanu pf aswell as competition brings quality leadership in both government and parastatals. Speak your mind man.
Tsvangirai Sinyoro Tsvangirai is irreparably finished my friend. Let the womanizer focus on his fast deteriorating health.
Listen to zanu pf talking. The only person they fear is Tsvangirai.
