No passport for Tsvangirai
Listen to interview with MDC MP & Interior Secretary Sam Sipepa Nkomo
The MDC had dismissed media reports that the Zimbabwean government has finally agreed to issue MDC President, Morgan Tsvangirai with a passport, Metro can reveal.
Speaking on VOA`s Studio 7 last night MDC MP and Interior Secretary Sam Sipepa Nkomo said the MDC has not received Tsvangirai`s passport.
“`Mr.Tsvangirai still has no passport,if they have indeed issued issued him with a passport its still with ZANU PF officials,he has not received the passport“,said Nkomo.
“The passport was not delivered at Harvest House (MDC Head Office) it was not at his Strathaven residence,there is no MDC official who has yet received it so he did not get it…If he indeed got it we should not be hearing it from the media or the South African government but from those who are responsible for issuing passport here.“,he added.
Tsvangirai, is in Botswana with only the ETD issued to him last month when he left the country and believes he cannot return because he does not have a valid travel document.
He has been denied a passport since early this year, the government claiming it does not have the materials to issue him with a new one. But his party, the MDC, has pointed out that thousands of other people have been issued passports since Tsvangirai applied.
