KWEKWE – MDC-T secretary-general Tendai Biti has called on members of the party to up their game ahead of the 2013 elections saying while Zanu PF will remain violent, the party would be a lot smarter as Zimbabweans move to their first ever issues-based election.

“We know Zanu PF never intends to have a peaceful election. They will continue to beat us up, but they will be a lot smarter and will bring issues to the table. An MDC cadre should, therefore, have more game and be smarter than just sloganeering,” Biti said.
Addressing hundreds of supporters in Torwood, Redcliff, during a provincial consultative meeting, Biti explained that the just-launched MDC-T economic blueprint Juice (Jobs, Upliftment, Investment, Capital and Environment) which he said would help revive the collapsed Ziscosteel which is teetering on the brink of an almost collapsed $750 million investment deal.
Biti blamed Zanu PF for leaving a legacy of economic destruction over its 32 years of uninterrupted stranglehold on power and thus could not be trusted to lead the country again.
“They have even destroyed the infrastructure which was left by Ian Smith because that is what they are good at.
“There is no better show of Zanu PF’s destructive power than Ziscosteel which used to be the nerve centre of industry in Zimbabwe even during the Unilateral Declaration of Independence era,” said Biti.
Biti also said the MDC-T on behalf of the people had won the constitutional fight and vowed that the party would not bow down to allow Zanu PF a chance to reverse the gains.

“The citizen issues are sealed, devolution will be in the constitution and all those issues which have been agreed on will not be compromised. The constitution is our baby and the MDC-T is not a baby dumper,” Biti said.
