Armed police guards were yesterday deployed to thwart attempts by MDC
leader, Morgan Tsvangirai’s relatives to raid his Highlands mansion of
household property.
Sources within Tsvangirai’s own security told the Daily
News that three people who claimed to be the former PM’s relatives turned up at
his Highlands mansion on Sunday unannounced and asked to gain access into the
main house to “pick some things”.
“They sent people to
Tsvangirai’s house who claimed to represent the family and wanted to take things out and they were
denied entry by the security who became suspicious and demanded to know what
exactly they wanted to take out,” said the source.
“They only left after Tsvangirai’s security called the
police otherwise they wanted to get in by force. Nobody ever got to know what
exactly they wanted to take out because they insisted that they wanted
something inside.
“It later became clear that they wanted to transfer
property to Tsvangirai’s old Strathaven home where he used to stay with his
late wife, Susan, before the inclusive government in 2009,” added the source.
