In an end-of -year statement, MDC-T spokesperson Douglas Mwonzora said 2014 should be a year to challenge Mugabe’s hold on power to end the suffering of ordinary people.

“They (MDC-T members) must know that the crisis they face is not insurmountable as it is not beyond their capacity to resolve,” Mwonzora said.

“If all progressive Zimbabweans unite with the same firmness of purpose, then the dictatorship will be annihilated.

“In fact, this dictatorship and the military machine that is propping it up are collapsing.

“Therefore, this is not the time to build little and ineffective political fiefdoms but to unite and put aside our narrow sectional interests for the common good.

“The MDC members are urged to unite and restrategise for total victory.

“We must put 2013 behind us and focus on our historic duty which is to annihilate the dictatorship.”

Mwonzora said the result of July 31 elections was another illegitimate government led by “old, insensitive and corrupt people”.

He said Zimbabweans were much worse off with a Zanu PF government than they were under the inclusive government.

MDC-T has of late accused Mugabe and his party of rigging the elections.

The party claimed Zimbabweans in the rural areas were forced to say that they could neither read nor write so as to get Zanu PF supporters to vote on their behalf.
