Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa has revealed that the late founding leader of the MDC Morgan Tsvangirai died a bitter man after President Emmerson Mnangagwa reneged on an agreement for an inclusive transitional government following the fall of former President Robert Mugabe.
Chamisa revealed this at the at the first anniversary of Tsvangirai’s death yesterday where he said,
I was asked by Tsvangirai to attend Mnangagwa’s inauguration at the National Sports Stadium, but I remonstrated with him saying these people could not be trusted. He (Tsvangirai) told me that he had been assured that a transitional arrangement would be formed that would set the reforms and conditions for free and fair elections, but that is not what happened and he died a betrayed man.

Chamisa said that he was not going to fall into the same trap again and said that he would not be bullied into “meaningless” talk with Mnangagwa. Speaking at the same occasion, Tsvangirai’s widow Elizabeth Macheka Tsvangirai said,
His vision was for Zimbabwe to be united. He wanted to see the people free to express themselves and he yearned for the life that the country experienced in the early 1980s when the people had enough to eat. He wanted people to have jobs. He supported the new dispensation because he sincerely believed that it was going to be the beginning of a new era. Unfortunately, something else happened.
For the sake of my husband, I would like to say the people should unite, not only in the MDC but across the political divide.
