Early last night I hosted family members of our President
who came to confirm the passing on of our President. Late last night, myself,
fellow VP Engineer Mudzuri, VC Komichi, SG Mwonzora, ESG Mpariwa, TG Makone,
DTG Hwende, Dep Organ Chibaya, Dep info T.Khumalo, elections tsar Zvizvai, youth leader Chidziva and other senior leaders had occasion to officially pay
our condolences to the family at the President’s Highlands residence.I have
just spoken to VP Khupe and Chairman Moyo who are on their way to Harare.
Its a huge blow to all of us. We have lost a mentor and a
Icon whom we looked up to as Our father. Indeed, a huge blow to the party and
the nation at large.We have lost a genuine and sincere fighter for democracy,
freedom and prosperity for all. A rare breed of an African leader who believed
in a non violent struggle for freedom. This blow has come at an inopportune
time for both the party and the entire nation.
We lower our banners in honour of the Father of the
alternative democratic narrative, DR RM Tsvangirai.
As a party of excellence, we will unite,lead, be
disciplined, be focused and show love. Our dear leader deserves a dignified and
befitting send off.This is not the time to quarrel. We face an extraordinary
situation. It is no longer business as usual. We must meet and agree on these
new circumstances as the party’s leadership. We can not communicate to the
entire nation before we formally meet and scope a shared way forward. We can
not also communicate about the People’s hero and Leader via the social media.It
would be disrespectful. As per tradition, and upon consultations we have to meet.
This morning, we will be convening an extraordinary meeting
of fellow leaders including conferring further with the family to enable
leadership to give a detailed brief to fellow national members, Provinces and
the nation at large. May all esteemed members of the National Executive and
National Council be at Harvest House, party HQ at 10am to receive important
information regarding this tragic and sad development.
Our party spokesperson and information dept are making
plans for a Press conference at 11am to be addressed by the party
leadership.Mps and senators are welcome.
All party members and members of the general Public will be
guided accordingly after the leadership and key organs consultations at Harvest
House.
We do this in honour of Our Visionary, Our Icon , Our
Unifier, Our Father, Our teacher, Our commander and Our President.
May his soul rest in peace.
God Bless you!
Under my hand,
MDCT Acting President
Adv Nelson Chamisa
