Morgan Tsvangirai has died

RIP and thanks for your efforts to bring sanity to Zimbabwe.
A good man.
 
So sorry to hear that, I hope his legacy lives on and that the people of Zimbabwe do not stop fighting to end the reign of terror.
 
Was a shock to read this last night. I just kept on with my life in denial and now it's on this forum.


Rip
 
To lose Morgan just as this political transition is happening is a big blow to Zim.

This man literally bled for his country. I would have loved to have seen a Zimbabwe flourishing under his leadership.
 
Distasteful, but perhaps not too surprising, that he doesn't get a decent funeral: https://www.news24.com/Africa/Zimba...ffers-state-assisted-funeral-reports-20180217

Zimbabwe's opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, who died on Wednesday after battling colon cancer, has been accorded a state-assisted funeral, but not the country's highest honour of a national hero, says a report.

According to NewsDay, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said his government was assisting the Tsvangirai's family in making arrangement to repatriate his body from South Africa.

"I have discussed with my colleagues what honour we are going to give him. We gave him state assisted funeral. Everything will be taken care of by the state," Mnangagwa was quoted as saying.

A state funeral was equivalent to a provincial hero status.

Mnangagwa's remarks came following public calls to accord Tsvangirai a national hero status.
