Former PM Morgan Tsvangirai has assumed a full time job at Harvest House but now gobbles up 400 litres of petrol at a time when he is retrenching workers, giving them a paltry 2 months salary package.
It has emerged the party is bankrupt to the bone and this is the reason why Treasurer General Roy Bennett has been calling for Tsvangirai’s immediate resignation.
Tsvangirai now starts work at 9am and knocks off at 5pm Monday to Friday. He uses three vehicles which consume an average of 400 litres of fuel a week. The standing committee sits every Wednesday and each of those 12 members need allowances for food and transport.
Harvest house has embarked on a massive retrenchment plan called Soft Landing. Each department is going to remain with three staffers. The retrenchments will also cascade to provinces. There will be one admin worker in the province, one driver and one security guard. Press officers in the provinces have been given notice to look for alternative employment. As exit packages those affected would be given two months salaries. The MDC-T wage bill is currently standing at $94 000 a month and mainly funded by the Political Parties Finance Act funds but will now be lower than before since their numbers in parliament have gone down.
It is also because of the donor fatigue that the party summoned all workers to Harvest house on Tuesday to warn them of the retrenchment plan code named Soft Landing. The Organising Department which used to have over 20 workers will now have only 3 workers just like any other department. Information which has Robert Mandeya, Lawrence Paganga, Yvone Mashie, one only known as Abigail, and the office assistant will also have to to remain with three. The choice of who remains lies with the Director General Mr Toendepi Shonhe.
There were unconfirmed rumours that Tsvangirai’s personal advisor Alex Magaisa has since relocated to the UK following the election defeat but Magaisa appeared to dismiss them.
It is believed that a big percentage of the money which will be received from government will go towards some allowances of the big people in the party who are now jobless after the GNU. The Party Treasurer general Roy Bennett told his colleagues at Harvest house that the party is broke and cannot continue looking for money without proper accounting and there is a disturbing fatigue in the donor community to fund the party.

Morgan has just overstayed at the helm of the party and Rot Bennet is right . New brooms can change party’s fortunes.I think so and no insults from his booty lickers pliz .

Isn’t this obvious. The Waste(west) having realised that the Regime-change project using the MDC tool seems not working they abandoned it. The whole idea of MDC bankruptcy is to squeeze Tsvangirayi out.
Uhlele nje ucabanga into sobutabane wena mpukane Nduminja, angikusoli kini koMthakathi abafazi ngamadoda abanye amadoda lidlana imdidi lothuvi lisenza amanyala, phu!!! Ozibiza ngoNdabezinja kodwa impukane enje ngawe edla uthuvi izohlala iyimpukane kuze kube nini. Nxaa!
Nxaa,so usuthole umfazi wena Greydungbeetle?ngiyabona nansi isitabane esithi singu Khulumgodoyi esikuhlanyisayo esikwenza usangane ,uwumane nje ungazi wenzani.Uyisilima so2vi ucabanga ukuthi ngingasebenzisa igama lomunye umuntu? mina ngingu Ndumiso Mlotshwa ngiyohlala nginje uyezwa mgodoyi?
Lizo thamba bantwana bamawule,lihambe kabi lapha.
So, Ndumidog, u have changed your name to Ndabezitha? Impukane yimpukane noma ingazibiza ngomgodoyi! Nawe uma uzazi ukuthi unabo abazali ungalingi uthuke abanye ngabazali ngoba izokujikela. Uyezwa wena nja Ndabezinja or Nduminja whatever u want to be called!
Seliyalwa ke manje ngane zama wule ngisho wena swina Greyhora lomsuzo lowu uKhulu,ngeke limenze lutho uNdu, liyezwa lina zinja zamaswina, likhohlwe liphinde bantwana babathakathi.
Kahle kahle ucabanga ukuthi ungubani wena Khulusihlama?yindaba uthukana ngabazali ,bangenaphi ke lapha abazali?uyanginyanyisa wena ngobulima bakho sigalagala sikanyoko.

Wena Khulu zimbabwe, why ungithuka ngomama wena msathanyoko?wazalelwa etarven wena ngquza kanyoko,ungibiza nge hole uyangazi wena msathanyoko?ufika lokuphapha lapha wena mgodoyi wo2vi,sikhotha sihlama sama Chona.
Dungbeetle ,shut up nja yo 2vi,angeke ngithuliswe nguwe sitabane so2vi,unganya uphinde udle amasimba akho okusalayo you will never silence me uyezwa nzalo yenja?
Ndumiso or Ndumidog as said uthabelani kanti unyoko usesikhathini uthabela ukudla ububende. ungumgaxaaa you are lost this nt racism forum. ukholise ububende wena hole!
By the way 400 litres of fuel is the equivalent of going from Harare to Bulawayo and back to Harare every day for the whole week! How can that be possible when MT lives and works in Harare? Typical imbecilic rubbish from the Herald!!
Ndumidog, uyazibona nje ukuthi uyinja umgodoyi njalo uyinhlekisa kule forum? Nobody takes you seriously except the other sihlama Nakednja, who is an Engutsheni patient. Uphethe nje uyakhonkotha okungapheliyo, and your barking means nothing in the end. You are just a fly that needs to be swatted. Nxaa!
It shameful that those that are doing absolutely nothing to salvage Zimbabwe from its zanu muppet induced basket case status have the temerity to critise someone who is actually doing something.
Fuseki wena mgodoyi Khulu zimbabwe,why don’t you close your big smelly mouth wena nja if you have nothing to say?
Lets have final word. Is it true/false kuti kune retrenchment.
peace must prevail. united we stand, divided we fall
Ndumiso bekeka mfowethu nguwe wedwa okhuluma udoti, ulahlekile la usifaka ibandla abakamthwakazi uyenyanyisa .
So if the MDC had won elections all these people were to be rcruited into Government minus education.
And where is Greyhora Mukadota and Kamudhoti when this is happening? Don’t tell me their heads are on the chopping board already. Go look for jobs elsewhere. ..Eish aya ave ma1 kuparty of sexelency. Hameno ikoko kwedu kuZanu Pf tiri bhoo. Gore rino uchasara wega Tsvancry wozoti Nikuv futi.
1. Vazhinji focus yakafa. Madii kutaura nezve cabinet and where our country is going? What about our former ministers who are back but have not performed expect blaming the weather?
2. Imi chii chamakamboitawo kana chamakatangawo chakabudirira sechakatangwa naTsvangirai? Nyangwe mukamuvenga sei, hapana mumwe wenyu achaita zvaakaita. Muri mwende nemagwara.

sa president vanofambawo nemota nhatu kkkk
and how many litters does Mugabe and his cronies use?
all said what have you done?the fuel is not for free,or rations from gvt,he’s buying,none of you is giving him the money.what he does from 8 2 5 is none of your buisness.talk abt zpf they are the ones in gvt.they are hosting endless luncheons,whilst you are still wallowing in poverty.SORRY IDIOTS.
Wat is new by people being made redundant? At least they are given two months salary and its common knowledge that there was no need to keep the staff compliment considering that the party failed to win the elections. ZANU allegedly won but are failing to pay the people whom they contracted for campaign material. There’s no story here you idiotic reporter. Hapana nyaya unless kana watumwa yes in your nutty brains you can create issues.
KIKIKIKIKIKIKI, KIKEST, hanzi he starts work at 9am and ends at 5pm, doing what? Iam sure this sellouts cannot come to his senses and accept that he is no longer a Prime Minister of the Republic of Zimbabwe.Zvangove zviroto zvegazvega.
brian mashonaland, shut up ,who forces you to read my comments wena nja?why uwafunda wena nja nxa engelamsebenzi?
Tsvangirai is the only brave man who put lives of his family,supporters and himself online so that Zimbabwe doesnt become a one party state.All those land grabbing and company invasions were crucial desperate measures introduced by Mugabe and Zanu pf as Tsvangirai and MDC applied pressure attempting to remove them from power.All those policies Zanu pf think they have and helped them win the so-called free and fair elections its because of MDC.
After independence Zanu pf took a nap.
‘We were caught napping’Mugabe said about 2008 narrow defeat.
The ruling party had taken the electorate for granted and brought the country to its knees through corruption and mismanagement.
I wonder why Tsvangirai is criticised when he has forced the napping party to be diligent.Tsvangirai through MDC is a hero.The Zanu folks may not like him or deny it and this Ndumiso despise him but its a fake.
Tsvangirai has played a vital role in reviving the country
Hapana zvawanyora
I agree with those calling for harmony. This thing of tribalism is bad especially for some of us with close relatives from other tribes.
Cho-cho!!
I regard tribalists as pathetic fools who forget that they do have the same skin colour, genitals and what only differs is culture.
invented a lot of things being used nowadays. It is because of good administration that allows people to be innovative unlike the one which puts people in the corner and force them to be corrupt because the leadership itself is corrupt. Corruption in Africa paves way for west to come and take advantage of us.
we are zimbabweans. We must be proud of that. Nomatter u beliveZANU,MDC and other parties .lets unite and work together. Zvekunyombana hazvivaki nyika
ndumiso belongs in the shit hole along with his badmouth.As long as Zimbabwe still has shallow minded people like him,we will always cry foul.ths guy didnt finish his studies at ZIMCARE TRUST.
The bone of contention is racism and difference in capabilities. That is all. Zimbabwe was colonized by Britain so do China. China is doing its own things and now one of the super powers. Why are we still complaining yet we got our independence. Do not worry about Mugabe and Tsvangirai but ourselves as Africans with selfishness. Many black people in USA
Ricado Navaradog,shut up you little worm,why are you belittling me?is it an offence to hate Tsvangiskirt? ungangiphapheli sihlama.Steel wire,please zip your mouth,you are not qualified to say anything about Gukurawundi, When Mugabe was killing our people , you were singing his praises,you only changed tune in 2008 when he started killing your fellow Korekores why? ngiphendule ndoda hayi ukungiwumanela uyezwa boy?
Tsvangirai is a confusionist. I feel sorry for MDC die hard supporters on this site who are refusing to see that their puppet party is in disarray after the masacre. Pasi nemi zvimbwasungata.
all said but lame.People of Zimbabwe dont have the balls to topple a party such as ZANU PF.Critism is what we good at,watching from the sidelines instead of getting involved.Sick and tired of the term(Zimbabweans are educated,MY ASS!)Lets unite and oust this selfish behaviour we proudly carry.Zimbabwe is broke,mean broke to the core because of our bundu economics. Lets wake up now!!!
Tsvangirai is using the money that he could have been spending on the people today. How much does mugabe spend from the diamonds money and other coffers to go to malasia, singapore and china, how much did they pay nikuv, hjow much does his delegates spend for jus moving to some stupid summits, even meetings… Tsvangira i shoul spend another 400litres on his children and wife kuti zvichyise… he is now as good as other business men
Manje muchamama chete
It does not matter what colour the cat is, as long as it catches mice. Don’t concern your selves with tribalism and racism, be concerned about uplifting nyika yedu!
restructuring and retrenchment are part of any organisation that seeks to turnaround things.. its unfortunate some people with little education and knowledge think retrenchment is bad. if the organisation is to survive in the current environment it has to do what is necessary. some organisations have failed to make things work because of lack of vision. its foolhardy to remain with a burden of paying salaries yet the workers do not have anything to do. downsizing is also proper. many in the mdc have gone back to their professions but continue to serve the party. its a different situation since the elections were stolen and for the good of the party all activity has to be reduced to necessary levels. apart from that there is no confirmation from the mdc sources to say the story is true making it more of propaganda than anything else. knowledge about names ofpeople in the party is not enough at least as a journalist the least you could have donme was to cantact the people and quote themin your story. mdc contact numbers and emails are easily available. poor reporting i must say. at least you could have looked at the issue of diamonds and masimirembwa which is of national interest and give us an update. we are waiting for the action as promised by the president.
Stupid journalist u are here to destroy not to build. Roy Bennet is a pussy he thinks he can rule Zimbabwe, i don’t think so. That’s why i hate anything to do with media
It’s not a problem guys. Each and every organisation around the globe has to restructure, change things here and there. It’s normal, if Mr. Tsvangirai is now working full time at Harvest house it will be good for the people’s project. He has to prepare for the next election right now.
problem yemachinja is yu live in denial, Tsvangirai wa busy sleeping around hanzi ipropaganda yezanu, makadyiwa ma elections hanzi nikuv, leadership yenyu yai imposer ma candidates which led to ma councillors voting for zanu pf mayors, now party yaa broke hanzi ipropaganda yezanu haa kuraiwo mhani
If MDCT councilors voted for ZANU PF to mayoral posts what could have stoped them from doing the same in the general elections????????? (Own goal)
The truth is tsvangirayi should go for any progress in MDC. If the MDC party consttuion states you Go after two terms, he should Go. If he is so much gluing to this seat before he is a president, what if he is now on the throne @ the state house.Words like mugabe has stayed for long should not even come from his mouth, because he, himself has failed to honour the very same thing
@ steel wire
The time of tribalism is over, we are all Zimbabwean weather shona or ndebele, it is false conciousness tha breeds war and disorder. Let’s not preach the massage of hate, coz hatred is an emotional disease that destroys the soul. Let’s preach love and reconciliation.
This is hogwash and a blue lie. Which vehicle are you talking about that gobbles 400 litres of fuel a week? Even if he uses a Hummer everyday from Highlands to Harvest House, it will not “gobble” 400 litres of fuel a week. Shows kuti the writer lacks intelligence and does not think before writing!
rubbish .trash. ndashaya description ye report iyi . Tsvangirai this Tsvangirai that.musiyei tiudzei kuri kuenda.why shld we concentrate on the opposition.motidzosera sure
Ndumiso is the stupidest living human l have ever interacted with!! He hates Tsvangirai for what? If you don’t have anything to write here just stay away and salute your comrades in ZPF!! Viva Tsvangirai!!
Steelwire- you are a man. I salute you.
Ndezveikoko
Ndumiso……you are Ndebele from the look of things….why do you hate Tsvangirai so much?…..Do you know that Mugabe nearly wiped your tribe in the 80s. Your short memory bogles my mind….. Tsvangirai has uplifted your standard of living since he joined GNU after ZANU PF 30 yrs of misrule….Your have also forgoten that your mothers and sisters were gang-raped while you watched by the notorious 5th brigade….they were murdered and thrown in disused pit latrines and mine shafts but you did nothing….you have also forgoten that Ndebeles were killed not only for supporting Mudala wethu the great Joshua Nkomo Father Zimbabwe but also for just being eNdebele….I am a shona, infact a Korekore by tribe and you make me sick this afternoon for wining and dining with a viper Zanu PF sycomphants.
Tsvangirai is our president come rain come thunder. You what to destroy the party but you won’t manage. We are here to stay.
telling it like it is!
Simon I salute you .SIMBI dzako mdahara well said !!!!
panyini penyu
Well said Mai Joza. this is trash and rubbish useless PROPAGANDA written by a Zanu pf apologist.
@ Mai Joza
You forgot to ascribe the statement on propaganda to it’s author!!!
Vana Ndumiso gore mucharutsa neropa if not mapapu because Tsvangirai is there to stay.
Can anyone clamouring for Morgan’s resignation imagine Nkomo or Mugabe resigning in 1977 (or anytime before independence in 1980) because of obstacles placed by the enemy?
Hogwash!…..the party of excellents will survive until victory…..councilors who wined and dined with the enemy should be fired a Million times….editor this is extremly false news…..the aim here is to crush MDC T for good, but we will hang-on, come thunder or come hail!!!
Propaganda is a form of
communication aimed
towards influencing the
attitude of the community
toward some cause or
position by presenting only
one side of an argument.
Propaganda statements
may be partly false and
partly true. Propaganda is
usually repeated and
dispersed over a wide
variety of media in order
to create the chosen result
in audience attitudes.
As opposed to impartially
providing information,
propaganda, in its most
basic sense, presents
information primarily to
influence an audience.
Propaganda often
presents facts selectively
(thus possibly lying by
omission) to encourage a
particular synthesis, or
uses loaded messages to
produce an emotional
rather than rational
response to the
information presented.
The desired result is a
change of the attitude
toward the subject in the
target audience to further
a political, religious or
commercial agenda.
Propaganda can be used
as a form of ideological or
commercial warfare.
While the term
propaganda has acquired
a strongly negative
connotation by association
with its most manipulative
and jingoistic examples
(e.g. Nazi propaganda
used to justify the
Holocaust), propaganda in
its original sense was
neutral, and could refer to
uses that were generally
benign or innocuous, such
as public health
recommendations, signs
encouraging citizens to
participate in a census or
election, or messages
encouraging persons to
report crimes to law
enforcement, among
others.
Something is not k in the house of puppets.
By question is what does Morgan do in the office from 9 to 5pm?. We have not seen any results from him. Waste of time and money.
Roy Bennett is right, thanks good reporting
Tsvangirai has overstayed. How long should they continue manipulating the constituuion to accomodate non achievers??
Nxaa, i hate anything associated with Tsvangirskirt, when i see his ugly face ,i feel like vomiting.
Mugabe goes to Singapore for a manicure, by the way tell us where is the voters roll.
stupid reporter. go hang
Your staff must be a staff at the Herald newspaper. The Daily news fires such staff reporters.
