Mugabe is guilty of failing to hold free elections and Tsvangirai is guilty of failing to implement the reforms!

"This election is illegitimate and unfair. We are participating because the people are tired and want change. We are going to soldier on," Biti said in the statement.

Mr Tendai Biti, your are right to say these elections are "illegitimate and unfair". But since this is so because MDC failed to implement the democratic reforms every said back in 2008 were necessary for free, fair and credible elections; it is therefore not true we are nonetheless having these unfair elections "because the people are tired and want change". Indeed we are having these unfair elections because you, MDC people, lied to the people right up to the referendum on the Copac constitution that these elections will be free and fair.

Ever since MDC got into power five years ago, the party has forgotten about its promise to deliver democratic change and hence the reason why not even one reform was implemented. MDC does not particularly care that the elections are illegitimate and unfair and result in another dysfunctional government or worse as long as the party members are elected and get back on the gravy train.

"We are going to soldier on," Biti said. Who is "we"? Please do not insult the people's intelligence by suggesting that you and your fellow MDC leaders will suffer in any way with the people the consequences another fraudulent election.

When the political violence broke out in 2008; Tsvangirai was seating pretty in the Netherland Embassy and the rest of the MDC leadership disappeared like morning mist under the African sun. It was the ordinary Zimbabweans who bore the brand of the beatings, rapes and murders.

Without exception, all MDC leaders has prospered economically in the last five years; Tsvangirai now has a $3 million mansion, Mwonzora built for himself what Job Sikhala called "hotel" mansion, etc. Meanwhile unemployment has remained at 90% and millions have continued to live in abject poverty!

Mugabe and Zanu PF are guilty for what they are doing to make this election illegitimate and unfair. Tsvangirai, Biti and the rest of the MDC leaders are parties to this crime against the people of Zimbabwe; they are guilty for what they failed to do - implement the reforms!
