THE MDC congress started slowly in Gweru yesterday, which it blamed on a spike in transport costs and shortages of fuel. The congress was supposed to kick off at midday at Ascot Stadium with a youth and women’s assembly congress, followed by elections of the two organs. Delegates were still trickling into the stadium way into the evening, while the logistics team was setting up the arena.
