[Mbu]

mimi nachojua gari alikuwa anaendesha mwenyewe and the lat time i visited zimbabwe he was driving Hondo CRV i count believe. security wise hana mshauri au serikali haimsaidii chochote

...Ochu, Tsvangirai hataki kutumia escort ya serikali, anatumia escort na walinzi wake mwenyewe wa MDC. Ni sawa na maalim seif anavyotumia Blue Guards wa CUF kumlinda!

The family and friends of Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai have attended a service for his wife, Susan, who was killed in a car crash on Friday.

Mr Tsvangirai's six children were at the service in Harare, where their father said he thanked God for the 31 years he had been able to spend with his wife.

Mr Tsvangirai, who has said he believes the crash was a genuine accident, said he was certain his wife would now want life to go on.

President Robert Mugabe also spoke during the service, telling mourners it would take time to recover from the shock of Mrs Tsvangirai's death but that it had been "the hand of God".

Mrs Tsvangirai's body will be buried in the family's home town of Buhera on Wednesday, said a spokesman for Mr Tsvangirai.

Zimbabwe mourns 'mother of struggle'

Memorial events took place in church and in a Harare sports stadium


Zimbabweans have been mourning Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's wife, Susan, who was killed in a car crash four days ago. Brian Hungwe joined those paying their respects.

Inside the Malbereign Methodist Church in Harare, a beige gleaming coffin held the body of Mrs Tsvangirai, wearing a red and white church uniform.

The coffin was placed in the centre of the church, separating former political rivals President Robert Mugabe of Zanu PF party, and Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) leader Mr Tsvangirai. Many words have been exchanged before - some harsh and ugly

The church was crowded, and others - among them diplomats - watched the proceedings from outside.

As priests took turns at the pulpit, their message was bold and clear - Zimbabwe's political leadership must take a hard look in the mirror.

"God works in mysterious ways," said Pastor Kampira.

"He has brought together former rivals, we should rejoice," he said, indicating that the days of political quarrels should be a thing of the past.

Mugabe applause

Human rights groups blame the politicians for instigating violence that has divided families and set a mist of hate and grief in the communities.

In a speech delivered to mourners from the pulpit, Mr Mugabe said: "We have many followers. So many have lost their lives. Gone should be the days of violence."

His voice was low, his delivery composed - a far cry from his invective against his former rival.

Morgan Tsvangirai had been planning his 57th birthday celebrations

"Many words have been exchanged before - some harsh and ugly," said Mr Mugabe, receiving a round of applause from the congregation.

In his sermon, Rev Joseph Muwanzi reminded President Mugabe that his party's supreme organ, the Politburo, decides who should be accorded national hero status.

But the priest noted that ultimately it is God who will judge all our actions by deciding after our burial who should go to heaven or hell.

As the priest spoke, Mr Mugabe looked in pensive mood while Mr Tsvangirai seemed to be distressed.

As the convoy of vehicles left the church, a 500m stretch of road was turned into flickering stream of traffic.

'Pillar of strength'

Away from the church service, mourners clad in MDC party regalia gathered at a Harare stadium to play their part on a day of remembrance.

Some of their shirts were emblazoned with the slogan "vote MDC".

Some women took the opportunity to send a message that MDC activists arrested on charges of plotting to topple President Mugabe should be released.

Thousands of MDC supporters heard Tendai Biti - a close ally of Mr Tsvangirai - pay tribute to the prime minister's late wife.

"[Mr Tsvangirai's] only pillar of strength has been his wife, Susan, who provided the food, the comfort and attention throughout his treason trial… and assassination attempt," Mr Biti said.

"Throughout his stay in detention in prisons, she is the one who provided the food," he said.

On hearing of Mrs Tsvangirai's death, Mr Biti said he was so shocked that he "couldn't feel the pain".

"She was the mother to our struggle, who mothered and breastfed that struggle. She was there when we were beaten up, assaulted."

The irony of the day, he said, was that Mr Tsvangirai was celebrating his 57th birthday staring at the coffin of his companion of 31 years.

"God works in strange ways," Mr Biti said.

"This is one of them. She died in the process of preparing her husband's birthday."

..mbona waombolezaji hawaonekani kama wananchi wa taifa lililozingirwa na kipindupindu, hyper-inflation, ukame na njaa, na un-employment?

..sasa hivi Tsivangarai anazunguka kwenye nchi za SADC akiomba msaada, na kusisitiza kwamba vikwazo vya uchumi viondolewe!!

..mbinu za kisiasa za Tsivangarai zinanikera sana, sioni tofauti yake yeye na Mugabe. kila mmoja ni katili, labda kinachowatofautisha Mugabe ana majeshi, lakini Tsivangarai naye ana mataifa makubwa nyuma yake.

Heshima yako bwana Masanja,

Lakini braza, hali ya Zimbabwe ni ya kipekee. Ni Somalia tu inayoipita Zimbabwe. Sasa kuona watu wamejikwatua namna hiyo inashangaza kidogo....regardless of the occassion

 

[Nyaralego]

Lakini kwa hali ilivyo nchini Zimbabwe inawezekana pia ikawa ni conspiracy hasa ukitilia maanani jinsi Mugabe alivyomtesa Tsvangarai na wafuasi wake kwa miaka chungu nzima sasa.

They have borrowed yet another leaf from Kenya...first the coalition and now death/assasination by road ACCIDENT!!! only it did not happen to the intended person.
I see a conspiracy...no matter how i slice it Bob knows something...
