Huddersfield(ZimEye)CONTRARY TO UK-media reports, Huddersfied businessman Alan Fish is not returning to Zimbabwe to support the opposition MDC for its annual congress.
A UK publication erroneously reported Friday that Alan Fish, who lives at High Flatts near Birdsedge, was preparing to travel to the southern African country to support Morgan Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).
In a tele-message to ZimEye on Sunday Alan Fish said that the publishing of his interview with the Huddersfied Examiner was delayed and had been carried out a great while before the MDC-UK elections whose questionable outcome influenced him to stop supporting Morgan Tsvangirai’s MDC party as he used to.
He said that before the elections he had planned to do
“a bit of networking (for the MDC) in the United Kingdom but the elections overtook everything…”, he said though without disclosing the exact time and date the Examiner-interview had been carried out.
He has labelled the MDC-T a party of cheats ‘who cheat at their own elections’.
“You have proved yourselves to be no better than Zanu. My support was total and an ambassador for you in the white British community but after what I witnessed Saturday I cannot support a party who even cheats at it’s own elections,” said Fish, referring to the sham elections organised by the MDC-T’s national chairman Lovemore Moyo in which many non-qualifying people were openly allowed to vote resulting in an outgoing leader being controversially re-endorsed by Moyo as winner despite protests and a request to have vote recount.
Meanwhile, Tsvangirai bemoaned the sad state his party had befallen into:
“Our party is being destroyed by some individuals who are abusing their financial muscles to buy loyalty of people thereby splitting our movement.
“Our party when we formed it had no money and was a party of the poor with a vision to represent the poor in the country but since the coming in of some people with money the party is dividing, money is splitting our party,” he said at the weekend.
The 57-year-old businessman, who is also managing director of water cooler installation firm Cool Water Direct, visited Zimbabwe in April, 2008 and had sponsored a number of MDC meetings in Yorkshire for a number of years. One of the meetings was a recent rally attended by 50 MDC supporters at Smith Farm in High Flatts after returning from Africa in 2008. (ZimEye, ZImbabwe)

We are almost there, closerthan ever to victory and taking over the power. See Zuma’s moves in the coming few days. I just can’t wait!
The MDC is only going through a period of maturity. we are not a party of angels, but real human beings with real issues. People shuold not be sidetracekd by these things and end up supporting the murderer Mugabe but must continue to support the party of the people – Guqula!
