Susan Tsvangirai, thank you

It is with deep regret that most of us had not even begun to know Susan

Tsvangirai, the wife of our Prime Minister and mother of their six children.

Ordinary Zimbabweans saw only glimpses of a quiet, humble, smiling woman:

laughing in the kitchen with her husband; sitting next to him at political

gatherings; singing in church alongside her husband after he had been sworn

in as Prime Minister.

There is a heavy and sombre mood in the country as the reality of this

tragedy sinks in. Our hearts go out to this family who have endured so much,

suffered so much and made so many personal sacrifices in the struggle to put

Zimbabwe back on the road to democracy, freedom and prosperity.

I join Zimbabweans all over the world in sending my condolences to Morgan

Tsvangirai and the families, friends and relations of Susan Tsvangirai. I

wish I could have thanked her for the courage, strength and determination

she must surely have shown herself and given in support of her husband as

they never gave up in the struggle for the new Zimbabwe.

Susan Tsvangirai, thank you.

Until next time, thanks for reading, love cathy
