MDC leader, Nelson Chiwenga has hit back at VP Chiwenga who
attacked his political ambitions and dreams.
He told the Standard : “Chiwenga is not a presidential
candidate and I have no time for him. It is clear that these people admire our
policies and I thank them for admiring us.
It’s clear that they follow my thought processes as the
alternative and that is very good. Let it be a battle of ideas and a battle of
policies. General Chiwenga did a lot for this country, but he certainly doesn’t
have the general knowledge about everything in this country and he cannot be a
hero of all generations.
He is a hero of our liberation generation and now we need
young people as the transformation generation and I happen to be young. I have
seen that he is attacking young people and I take it as a complement.
To be young is not an insult, he was also once young, ED
(Emmerson Mnangagwa) was once young, Robert Mugabe was once young, (Josiah)
Tongogara was once young, (Herbert) Chitepo was once young, (Joshua) Nkomo was
once young and when they were young, they carried the burden of the nation
through the liberation struggle.
Why are they denying us the chance to do our bit as they
did for our beloved country, why? They have done their best and we appreciate
and thank them for liberating this country.
We couldn’t do it because they were there.
They must appreciate and accept us to transform this nation
and thank us when we transform it so that we are both liberated and
transformed.
