The scandal-ridden private life of the Prime Minister goes way beyond mere reckless sexual contacts; it goes to the core of good governance, the MDC-T’s prospects for electoral victory and good common sense, as it will be shown here.

Morgan Tsvangirai has displayed a lack of basic common sense, a prerequisite in all good leaders. The guy goes to hunt in protected enemy territory. When he is discovered and exposed for poaching, he alleges the government’s Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO)’s, involvement in his love life. He wants the nation and the entire world to believe that Zanu PF and the CIO, and not his promiscuity, led to his troubles.
Even those who initially believed the Zanu PF and CIO-plot excuse proffered by Tsvangirai, must have been shocked when the man they believe will deliver political change in Zimbabwe failed to change himself and went back to Zanu PF territory to get another lady with her roots steeped deep in the party, Elizabeth Macheka.
The natural question to ask our Prime Minister is: if Zanu PF and the CIO are seeking to destroy your political career and penetrated your relationship with a Zanu PF lady, Locardia Karimatsenga, what has changed to stop them from penetrating your relationship with Elizabeth, another Zanu PF daughter? It is an apparent and glaring lack of clear-mindedness and good judgement on the part of the man entrusted by millions of Zimbabweans, who believe in him, with the momentous task of unshackling Zimbabwe from the tight grip of Zanu PF rule.
It must be disappointing to his legion of loyal followers and others seating on the fence who believed in his potential to unseat President Mugabe from the throne. The man admits to multiple, concurrent, and unprotected sexual relationships and yet has the temerity to point fingers at enemies for the liaisons. Did the CIO find him the women? Did Zanu PF and the CIO undress him in readiness for unprotected sexual acts, resulting in pregnancies?
Sexual addiction is a common enough health condition. Admit to it and seek professional help before even attempting to assume the mantle of national leadership and embarrassing the whole nation. To believe that Tsvangirai was looking for a wife when he was sleeping with all those women would be the height of naivety. He was being an Aids ambassador, rather.
More worrying to the entire MDC-T family is Tsvangirai’s public apology for his sexual indiscretions at an MDC-T function in Bulawayo to celebrate its 13th year of existence. It goes to show how easily the man mixes business with pleasure at the party’s expense. Imagine a future Zimbabwean president making such an apology at a public forum asking for forgiveness for sampling the delights of the nation’s women with reckless abandon. And the apology was insincere because, directed at the women he caused pain and suffering, he has not privately made peace with them, at least not with Locardia, who is now being blamed for miscarrying as if it was by choice.

Does Zanu PF need to campaign vigorously in the next national elections? No. Tsvangirai will campaign for them harder than they can ever imagine with his own mistakes. That’s how bad Tsvangirai is to his own cause. He is scoring own goals. All Zanu PF has to do is “harmonise” the disgruntled womenfolk’s vote and romp to a resounding victory, courtesy of a clumsy presidential candidate.
It’s high time the opposition in Zimbabwe in general took a good look at themselves in the mirror. Is the picture that you see not ugly? Tsvangirai has betrayed people’s aspirations and dashed their hopes.
