“President Mugabe is a reality,” Tsvangirai told reporters at a media briefing in Harare.
“He has been inaugurated, it doesn’t mean I necessary agree with the election and that I am conceding defeat and that I am actually saying that the election was conducted (fairly) but he is a reality."
Tsvangirai was trying to explain the contradiction of appointing a shadow cabinet whilst still maintaining the position that Mugabe stole the election. Here is one confused individual.
The vote rigging was blatant and no one is his/her right mind would accept such an outrage. You, Tsvangirai, accepted the rigging without even a fight. Mugabe was counting on you to do that and once again you did not disappoint the tyrant.
Because Mugabe rigged the election his claim to the office of president is therefore illegal- that is the reality.
The fact that he has since gone to have the inauguration ceremony, appoint and swear in cabinet members, etc. is irrelevant. His legal status will remain the same because the legitimacy of the office of president is not derived from a ceremony but from the people in a free, fair and credible election.
Tsvangirai says he does not accept the election results but accept Mugabe is president. This is double talk; he should stop dithering and take up one position! But then blundering and dithering are what Zimbabweans have learnt to expect from him.
Zimbabweans, the help of the international community, should hold firm and refuse to accept a fraudulent electoral process and give their legal approval to those who rig elections!
Mugabe rigged the elections and therefore he has no legal right to be president. There is a time when people must stand up and be counted and that time is now for Zimbabwe! Enough is enough!

Tsvangirai is certainly one of the most incompetent leaders in human history; the man should have never left herding goats! He knows the elections were rigged, even he saw that. What he has clearly failed to realize is that having rigged the elections Mugabe had, per se, committed a serious crime and therefore the vote count and everything that flowed from his act of rigging the elections was invalid.
It is the people's vote alone, in a free, fair and credible election, that confers legitimacy to a candidate's claim to public office. Mugabe did not get that legal validation from the people of Zimbabwe. And therefore then is not legally the president of Zimbabwe.
Mugabe has rigged elections in the past and the nation has let him stay in office. Well, he is not going to get away with rigging elections and usurping power this time.
It is naïve to expect Tsvangirai to understand the complexities on elections, what is legal and what is not and what is real and what is not. He is a simpleton, forget him.
Mugabe cheated in the elections and he is therefore illegally occupying the office of the presi-dency.
Mugabe has reportedly signed a deal to sell uranium to North Korea in return for weapons.
“North Korea has always been an ally of this country since the liberation struggle days against white minority rule. They have trained our soldiers, and now the press acts as if it’s a discovery that this deal exists,” Mugabe said, according to a Nehanda Radio report.
“Chinorwadza ipapo chii? Inga nyika dzose dzinotengeresana zvombowani. (What is paining about the issue? Is is not a fact that all nations buy weapons from one another).”What is painful there is that you are once again using the nation’s wealth for your own selfish political gain!
If Mugabe is allowed to get away with vote rigging this time; it is clear he intends to spare nothing in consolidating Zanu PF's hold on power. Why else would he be signing deals to buy more weapons, building a new Spy University, etc. at a time when the national economy is in a real mess. He is not interested in getting the 90% unemployed back to work; he wants to make sure that they are all beaten into accepting their lot!

@ Dumbu
So you will support Tsvangirai regardless how incompetent he has proved to be just because you are one of the founding members of the party?
Just because I was not there when MDC was formed does not mean I have no right to comment on the party's performance or lack of it. MDC has been holding public office and as such are accountable to the public and I am a member of the said public. You can bet you bottom dollar, I will hold MDC leaders and their supporters to account.
MDC have proven to be breathtakingly incompetent and I have explained why I say so. Your own failure to grasp what MDC has been doing shows just how incompetent you are.
Zimbabwe is in this mess and it is not going to get out of it with incompetent political leaders and their stupid supporters like you. Like I said, you can not see reason because you are brain-dead!
