MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai on Sunday 23rd May told his party faithful to remain optimistic and resolute in their determination to confront the dictatorship.

MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa said over 30 000 people thronged the Zimbabwe grounds in Highfields to hear the party leader say the real test for the ‘big fight’ was now on the horizon. Tsvangirai said the main challenge for his party now was to confront Zanu (PF) ‘head on’ by taking the fight to its rural strongholds.
