A: There are people who are interested and have already made commitments to assist us. In fact let me just point out that the international goodwill to assist Zimbabwe is there. It is us who have destroyed that goodwill. It is up to the MDC to rebuild that goodwill which Mugabe, out of political expediency, has destroyed.
Q: Would you agree to a live debate on television with President Mugabe on these and other important issues facing the country?
A: I have already offered my challenge to everyone. All the five candidates must be allowed equal time on television. I think it would be vital for the democratic discourse in this country for the contending candidates to have a public debate over all these issues so that the people can make their own judgment.
Q: Are you going to be a one-term president or should Zimbabweans expect you, if you win, to follow in the footsteps of Africa’s long-reigning big men such as Kenya’s Daniel arap Moi, Libya’s colonel Muammar Gaddafi and others?
A: I can certainly commit myself to one position — that is that I am committed to term limits. But Zimbabweans should determine how many terms their president must serve through a new constitutional dispensation that I have talked about.I cannot single-handedly determine whether I will be there for one, two or three terms. I am going to be there in accordance with the constitution designed by the people.
