The late Morgan Tsvangirai was declared a “people’s hero”, by MDC-T’s national council.
The party’s acting president Nelson Chamisa described Tsvangirai as an icon and doyen of democracy and said that the current MDC-T leadership will win the election against Zanu PF presidential candidate Emmerson Mnangagwa. Said Chamisa:
We are just four months away from an election and we have lost a commander, but what I can tell you is we don’t have a crisis of the generals to make sure that we win the battle and the war against the incumbent and we will win this election.
He said Tsvangirai would be buried at his Buhera rural home in accordance with his will. Chamisa said he would soon seek to engage Mudzuri and Khupe to resolve their differences and rally all party members to gear for the upcoming general elections.
