The MDC and its backers, the UK/US say its Mugabe who is committing the violence. But thats not what white zimbabwean David Coltart, has to say.
'David Coltart: 'Why I cannot join Tsvangirai's faction''
'Last year, David Coltart (pictured), a former Rhodesian police officer and now the MDC's white MP for Bulawayo South, wrote a piece for the website, NewZimbabwe.com, explaining why he could not join Morgan Tsvangirai's faction of the MDC. His major reason: Tsvangirai's faction has a propensity for violence and has not taken any action to discipline its members who had used violence in the past. In fact, it had rehired members who were expelled or suspended for using violence against fellow MDC members. Coltart's piece undermines Tsvangirai's recent claims that he doesn't "believe in violence" and has "on many occasions restrained [his] supporters from being violent".
