 'We've never believed that we have an honest and genuine partner in Zanu (PF). This has now sadly been vindicated by President Mugabe’s unilateral and unconstitutional proclamation of the election date.." - Tsvangirai.
With SADC still yet to produce the Communique of the Maputo extra-ordinary Summit, the MDC-T has distributed its President's speech to the Summit in which he told the SADC heads that the MDC-T's insistence that it did not have an honest and genuine partner in Zanu (PF) had been vindicated by President Mugabe’s unilateral and unconstitutional proclamation of the election date on 31 July 2013.
Tsvangirai told the leaders that that since their historic summit in Dar Es Salam, they had travelled to Pretoria, Sandton, Mulungushi, Cape Town, Kinshasa, Windhoek, Livingstone, Luanda, and Maputo, and in all these meetings they had been very clear on the following issues:

 Alex Magaisa: Cdes, the front page story in The Sunday Mail alleging there was a fight over a hotel suite between the MDC PresIdent Morgan TsvangIraI and his Secretary General Tendai Biti is a complete fabrication from the first letter to the last full stop. It is a cheap and poor attempt to bury bad news; to create a fictional sideshow and distract attention from the Maputo outcome. None of the two stayed in a Presidential Suite. The writer of the story is not brave enough to say who he or she is, preferring to hide under the tag of "Sunday Mail Reporter". It's a complete lie a and shows once again why there have been talks for media reforms. This is not journalism but creative writing ...
Tendai Biti: Good people ,good good people, those in the know say that truth is the first casualty of tyranny.In times of conflict the dictator resorts to lies distortions spin fabrications evasions and malice.It is true of all failed and failing regimes.The vitriol of that Sunday sobriquet that greeted us as as soon as we landed had us laughing out of pity.God God save us from this evil...."
And it goes on... In fact it continues at the end of this piece, which is a critique by a UK-based observer of political parties' use of social media which is ablaze with facricated stories by Zimpapers journalists protecting Southern Africa's worst dictatorship on its last stand.

 Journalists quoted Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) chairperson Rita Makarau defining a fair (electoral) process as "one that allows each candidate or political party equal access to the electorate to sell himself /herself, to information about the process and a process that allows the choices made by the people to be reflected as is without any attempt by ZEC to manipulate the results or favour one or more of the contestants."
This is a situation that is clearly not existing in Zimbabwe.
Rita Makarau has clealy failed to rise to the occassion

 Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) has noted the front-page article in The Herald edition of 12 June 2013 authored by Caesar Zvayi and entitled “MDC-T launches litigation crusade”. This article was published without adherence to basic journalistic standards and ethics that include the right of reply or comment by those organisations and individuals named in the story.
It is disappointing that such articles continue to be published in a new constitutional era that obliges institutions and individuals to promote national unity, peace and stability, and specifically obliges the media to refrain from incitement and hate speech, afford a right of reply, and promote diverse and dissenting opinions.

 Zanu (PF) President Robert Mugabe today told MDC President Morgan Tsvangirai that in purported compliance with the Constitutional Court judgment, he was proclaiming the sitting of the nomination court on June 28n and July 31 as the first day of election.
Tsvangirai has rejected this as a flagrant violation of the Global Political Agreement that is governing the country and also a violation of the New Constitution, and said he is going on another trip to the SADC region to fully brief the regional leaders on the crisis that Mugabe is creating through his unilateral action.
He appealed to Zimbabweans to remain calm but vigilant in the face of this "provocation and illegality", saying history had taught us that evil never triumphs and the way of truth will always triumph.
Below is his full statement:
