Speaking at the funeral of the founding leader of the opposition MDC-T party, former vice president Joice Mujuru said that she has decided to join the MDC Alliance with immediate effect. Mujuru said that her People’s Rainbow Coalition (PRC) was going to join the MDC Alliance in order to form a grand coalition against Zanu-PF in the coming harmonised elections. Mujuru had previously resisted efforts to join the alliance because of the inclusion the letters MDC in the name.
Said Mujuru
…When I last talked to Tsvangirai, we were putting finer details to the Memorandum Of Understanding with regards to the alliance.
We are now saying, may all Zimbabwe’s opposition parties come together as it is in line with the people,’s will. We should work together and fight against poverty because it has become unbearable, it is too painful.
We acknowledge the war that you fought Mr Tsvangirai and I have accepted that we should work together to fulfil your dream. So as opposition parties, we say rest in peace and we will honour our pledge.
