Tsvangirai’s widow has denied that she has locked out any
of the late MDC leader’s children.
“I am still in mourning, but it is not true that any child
has been locked out,” Elizabeth told the Daily News.
“Miriro and Richard are with their mother and we actually
parted well after their mother requested to see them temporarily. They are
welcome here any time and I have even spoken with their mother,” she said.
Elizabeth told the Daily News that she was actually in the
process of arranging tuition for Richard junior since he is at university.
She said: “People must not lie that anyone has been shut
out even though some of them know what they did while my husband was sick in
South Africa. I don’t want to talk about that now but people should not lie on
top of their ill-treatment of me and their lack of respect.”
Tsvangirai’s brother, Manasa claimed they have not yet
deliberated on his brother’s estate, but he made it clear that the children
should get the lion’s share.
“We are still discussing the way forward. We will take our time. If a person has been
working, mdara akashanda (Tsvangirai was a hard worker) and he was working for
his children; he was not doing that for us, his brothers, but for his kids.
Children should benefit and not anyone else, every man works for his children.
“Even if you are married, children should benefit first.
Even when you have done things with your own hands you would say I have built
this and that for my children and not for yourself. The children are the inheritors
and not anyone else,” said Manasa.
