Elizabeth Tsvangirai donates to families of 30 incarcerated MDC supporters

Mrs Tsvangirai was donating food to the families of the 30 MDC supporters who stand accused of killing a cop in Glen View last year.

“Everything that happens in an individual’s life God has a purpose. We might fail to understand why this is happening but God’s way can not be understood by people. All things that happen in life happen for our own good.

“I want you to know that ‘pay day’ is coming God has great things to install for you. Remain vigilant and help them through prayer and God will open up. God creates road were there is no road,” she said.

The state claims Glen View policeman Petros Mutedza was killed by the MDC-T members at a local pub. But the party denies the charges and insists the arrests were a plot by ZANU PF to destabilize their structures. They say there is evidence showing many of the accused were not at the pub the night Mutedza was killed.

The courts have denied bail to the MDC-T members on several occasions, claiming they are flight risks. The trial has also dragged on at a slow pace, which the MDC-T alleges to be a strategy to extend their time in jail.

Each family received 40 kilograms of mealie meal, 10 kilograms of sugar, five kilograms salt, 12 kilograms flour, 10 litres of cooking oil, eight bars of soap, and eight tablets of bathing soap, four packets of tea leaves, five kilograms matemba and 2 jars of petroleum jelly.

Mrs Tsvangirai last month visited the 30 MDC supporters at Chikurubi maximum prisons. She has also attended their court hearing.

Recently in Bulawayo, Mrs Tsvangirai was the guest of honour at the signing of a US$233 000 grant from the Japanese government to King George VI School for the disabled.

Mrs Tsvangirai has also come face to face with the survivors of the 2008 Jerera bombing which killed MDC-T activists Crison Mbano and Washington Nyangwa.
