Tsvangirai blame State Media and the CIO for interfering in his relationship and says marrying Locadia now is “inconceivable”.
He said he had become a, “spectator in this relationship and things are happening too fast, on camera and without my knowledge. This has led me to conclude that there is a greater and thicker plot around this issue which has undermined my confidence in this relationship.”
By his own admission Tsvangirai is saying he had been going out with someone he should not. No doubt the two had been going out for a while, long enough to get the woman pregnant, and all this time he did not realise she was a bad woman. This is not the first time Tsvangirai has shown he is a bad judge of character.
Tsvangirai signed a power sharing agreement with Mugabe in 2008 and for two years insisted the political marriage was working. “There is nothing Mugabe does that I do not know,” Tsvangirai said.
Tsvangirai is a weak and indecisive leader and his repeated failure to see dubious characters for whom they really are is just another manifestation to his incompetency as a leader.
Zimbabweans have their eyes fixed on getting Mugabe out of office and rightly so too. Still we also must stop to assess the competency of the man we are proposing to take Mugabe’s place. We must not behave like a duck whose eyes can only focus on one thing and one thing only.
Before independence we had our minds fixed on getting rid of Ian Smith and thus failed to scrutinise the men and women we were electing to lead after independence. Mugabe and his Zanu PF friends showed their tyrannical streak long before independence and when they assumed office their true sadistic colours were there for all to see. And yet for 20 years Zimbabweans refused to see Mugabe for the tyrant he is. History has a habit to repeat itself; for the last three years Tsvangirai has blundered again and again and still many Zimbabweans refuse to acknowledge he is a weak and indecisive leader.
After the mandate the people of Zimbabwe gave Tsvangirai is 2008 there is no reason why Mugabe should be around terrorising and messing our lives. The tyrant is still firmly in charge today only because Tsvangirai blundered and allowed the tyrant back into power through the back door, the stupid GPA.
It was Zimbabweans’ failed to keep one eye on Smith and the second eye on Mugabe that landed the nation into this hell-hole. To get out; we must keep one keen eye on Mugabe and Zanu PF and the second eye on Tsvangirai and his MDC friends. We all want to get rid of Mugabe and his dictatorship but that will never happen if the individuals we have entrusted to do this are so incompetent the dictator is running rings round them at every turn! We must develop the fixable intellect like the eyes of the chameleon if we are to avoid the pitfall of once again blocking the stable after the horse has bolted - acknowledge Tsvangirai’s shortcomings after ten years of indecision and blundering!

Does Tsvangirai have any advisers, if so then he should fire the lot! This matter was a mess one but of no real political significance and consequence. But by failing to handle this cleanly Tsvangirai has allowed his critics to get a lot of political mileage out of it. If this statement was supposed to take the sting out of the story, it does no such thing!
Tsvangirai paid the traditional “damage” when he could have paid lobola if he really wanted to marry the woman. So why is he now blaming “these past well-orchestrated events” for not marrying the woman? This is typical of Tsvangirai; in his attempt to correct the initial blunder, he blunders. The “sordid saga” will run for a few weeks more!
