Luke-ing the Beast in the Eye: Remembering Morgan Tsvangirai, the icon
By Luke Tamborinyoka
Today, marks the sixth anniversary of the death of Morgan Tsvangirai, Zimbabwe’s doyen of the democratic struggle. Tsvangirai loved his country and its people and it may have been epiphanic that he died on Valentine’s Day; on the day that the consuming power of love is celebrated worldwide.
Tsvangirai left a rich legacy that is being strenuously torn asunder by the treacherous and mercenary lot among us; the wicked motley that has chosen to be Zanu PF’s willing tool in the macabre plot to decimate the people’s democratic project.
The Morgan Tsvangirai I know must certainly be violently turning in his grave at this unbridled treachery and the annihilation of his legacy by these latter-day Judas Iscariots who jointly and severally are now hobnobbing with ZANU PF to undermine a struggle he founded, cherished and nurtured till his death on St. Valentine’s Day in 2018.
