“I’ve got a very clear message for him (Mugabe) today. Don’t dare do it again,” Tsvangirai told supporters at his final rally.
Here we go again! In the one breath Tsvangirai is complaining that Mugabe is rigging this election and in the next breath he is threatening Mugabe not to dare to do the very thing.
Tsvangirai is reportedly "stressing that the electoral procedures had so far been chaotic blasting ZEC and urging them to retire if they were incapable of organizing the poll".
It is clearly that Tsvangirai is powerless to stop Mugabe rigging this election; so what is the point of making empty threat?

I agree the people are desperate for freedom and a new beginning but the chaos on the ground shows that desperate or not the need for competent leaders is more important than ever!
In their desperation the people thought they could have a short cut and now they are paying dearly for their folly!
As recent as Monday 29 July 2013, two days before the elections, Tsvangirai was boosting that MDC would still win the elections regardless the undemocratic realities on the ground. He should have implemented the reforms but believed he did not need free and fair elections because he would win regardless.
Tsvangirai gambled and he lost miserably! More significantly Tsvangirai gambled with the ordinary people's basic right, hopes and dreams!
