MDC-T worried about Zanu-PF spies in coalition

MDC-T President Morgan Tsvangirai has revealed that his party is going to be careful in selecting coalition partners to avoid infiltration by Zanu-PF agents.

MDC-T spokesperson, Obert Mpofu said:

If it maintains the support of civil society, it could lead one of the broad-based movements against the government ever seen. It is also important to highlight that Zimbabweans put their trust more in a bigger opposition force,

On the other hand, while a coalition should be inclusive, it does not mean every party which claims to be an opposition party deserves a place in the grand coalition.

Apart from opportunists, there are also infiltrators who will seek space in order to infiltrate and destabilise the coalition.

Parties must demonstrate what they bring to the grand coalition beyond their names and leaders. It should also be noted that whilst a grand coalition is important, it is not the silver bullet for opposition parties.

Recently, a former security advisor for the MDC-T won a primary election to contest in the Chiwundura by-election as a Zanu-PF candidate.
