COMMENT - Obviously the MDC still think that economic sanctions against the Zimbabwean people are still useful to them. They are traitors.

Tsvangirai reneges on signing sanctions petition

MDC-T leader, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai reneged on his commitment to sign the sanctions petition unveiled yesterday and signed by President Mugabe and other senior politicians in the country.

Tsvangirai was scheduled to be among the first people to sign the petition, but he chose to stay at his Strathaven home even though the move was a government one. The petition was discussed in Cabinet and approved. It bears the Government of Zimbabwe coat of arms and is State-sponsored.

Tsvangirai chose to address the media at his home where he dismissed the national anti-sanctions campaign as a Zanu-PF programme.

In the National Anti-Sanctions Petition Campaign, the Government seeks more than two million signatures from Zimbabweans opposed to the sanctions.

People append their names, signatures and identification numbers to register their protest to the West and to demand an immediate end to the widely-discredited embargo.

The campaign will be conducted at district and provincial level while an Internet-based offensive to incorporate Zimbabweans in the Diaspora will also be rolled out.
