Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has threatened to pull out of a power-sharing deal aimed at resolving the country's crisis, if President Robert Mugabe moves ahead with plans to hand key ministries to his party.
In his first public reaction to Mugabe's shock announcement, Tsvangirai has told a rally in Harare, attended by about 8,000 of his supporters, if the ZANU-PF continue their actions, they have no right to be part of it.
"The people have suffered. But if it means suffering the more in order for them to get what is at stake, then so be it. We will renegotiate until an agreement is reached but that does not mean we will compromise for the sake of it," Tsvangirai said.
He says they'll renegotiate until an agreement is reached, but won't necessarily compromise for the sake of it.
Zimbabwe is now a far cry from the model regional economy and breadbasket it once was, with inflation soaring to 231 million per cent in July, while food and basic goods are critically understocked and unemployment rampant.
