A sizeable crowd braved the angry sky to attend the unity marriage between Welshmen Ncube led MDC green and Sekai Holland led MDC orange, amid applause from the roaring crowd that was in mixed green and orange regalia.
Speaking from Stanley Square, Samuel Siphepha Nkomo, current chairman of the MDC renewal led by Sekai Holland, called for a strong united relationship between their supporters and also to work hand in hand for the success of their marriage, which he said was now the only way to force ZANU PF out of power.
“We are now tired of being ruled with a heavy hand, without employment, food on the table and descent living standards. We are gathered here today to unite and become one strong party that will win elections in 2018 come elections. Let’s be one family that will fight the autocratic old leadership of a first lady who move around the whole country shouting abusive words to a suffering nation. How can Grace Mugabe call herself mother of a nation with the guts to speak unprintable words in a national radio and television? This must end during the coming elections in 2018,” said Nkomo.
His sentiments concurred with those of Welshman Ncube and Sekai Holland.
Ncube accused Zanu PF of having selfish tendencies, at the expense of the people, pointing out the party has failed to govern and follow peoples’ wishes.
“We are going to rebuild our once vibrant Zimbabwe which has been torn into pieces by the current greedy leadership of Robert Mugabe and his cronies. The Mugabe regime destroyed every infrastructure, and has been busy squandering resources. They are now fighting for the last bone from the steak they stole from the masses, that’s why they are now at each other’s throat,” said Ncube.
Holland echoed: “Let’s build our industry through voting for the United MDC and get our jobs back. Tsvangirai has reneged on our original plan of freeing the people from the bondage of poverty they were put in by Robert Mugabe. We need healing from the 2008 violence and muggings from ZANU PF and also Gukurahundi issue must be resolved by the government, as it was involved in the death of more than 20 000 innocent people.”
David Coltart who has been MDC green’s secretary for legal affairs applauded the unity between the two, and said that he long waited for this. “I am glad today to see this important day of this very special moment of my life. I was longing for this unity, and God has answered my prayers. I was born in Zimbabwe and I was educated in Zimbabwe, so this is the country where my heart is,” he said amid whistles and ululation from the crowd.

If they had quality I would be applauding them, recycling the same failed and incompetent leaders who failed to get even one reform implemented in five years of the GNU shows these idiots are a joke!

Do you think that would make him a competent leader?

You are right just because they are wearing green and orange and not red they think that is enough to turn them from incompetent leaders into competent ones! An idiot is an idiot regardless the colour of shirt he or she is wearing!

“We are now tired of being ruled with a heavy hand, without employment, food on the table and descent living standards,” MP Sipepa Nkomo said.
Does this mean that until now you were not tired of being ruled with a heavy hand
and hence the reason you did not bother to implement not even one of the
democratic reforms designed to end Mugabe’s dictatorship? Well it good to hear
that you are at least now finally tired; we thought you were tired way back in 1999 when MDC was launched. Our mistake!
Still now that you are FINALLY tired of Mugabe’s rule; tell us how are you going to
get all the democratic reforms you failed to get implemented during the GNU
implemented this time BEFORE the 2018 elections? For your information these
must be implemented if we are to stop Zanu PF rigged those elections as they did in 2013.
You really have no idea how the reforms are going to be implemented do you?You are just making you usual empty promises. You are just an empty drum making a lot of noise!
“Tsvangirai has reneged on our original plan of freeing the people from the bondage
of poverty they were put in by Robert Mugabe.”
It’s not only Tsvangirai, but all these clowns were part of the GNU.

SHowing me the same picture at different angels will not change a thing. Pictures 1 , 5 and 6 are one and the same as far as I am concerned.
