Tsvangirai warned it would be "naive to believe Zanu-PF would willingly go to free and fair elections if they don't have something up their sleeve", adding he couldn't trust Mugabe "because he speaks with a forked tongue".
Tsvangirai actually warned the rest of world not to be "naive to believe Zanu-PF would willingly go to free and fair elections.” The whole world warned Tsvangirai against trusting Mugabe back in 2009 and still he went ahead and signed the power sharing agreement with the tyrant. For the next two years he told the world Mugabe had changed and the power sharing was working; in total disregard of all the evidence to the contrary. And now he has the edacity to warn the world of something they warned him all along.
Clearly Tsvangirai is not man enough to admit he was very naïve to have trusted Mugabe in the first place but I never thought he would be that conceited to be warning the world not to be naïve! With such a naïve and conceited man for Prime Minister is it an wonder Zimbabwe is in such a political and economic mess!

It took most Zimbabweans at least 20 years to realise what a monster Mugabe was. Tsvangirai is a "flawed and indecisive character" as Chris Dell said back in 2001/2. Most Zimbabweans are yet to see that for themselves even after ten years of blundering by the MDC leader. So the nation can not look for another leader until they acknowledge the current leader is no good.
As for "strengthening" Tsvangirai; he himself does not acknowledge he has any shortcomings and therefore will continue to reject all advice.
I really do not think it is possible to have a competent and democratic government when those responsible for holding those in positions of power and authority do not have the foggiest idea what the leaders are supposed to be doing! We have a very thick and slow electorate but with an ego to match which is stopping them from learning from the past. And, of course, the leaders with an invested interest in keeping them that way!
