Youth Forum on the perishing of Mrs Susan Tsvangirai
Youth Forum
March 09, 2009

Youth Forum joins the nation, region and the international community in mourning the the shockingly unexpected death of Mrs. Susan Tsvangirai the wife to the Zimbabwe's incumbent honorable prime-minister and the founding president of Movement For Democratic Change Mr. Morgan Tsvangirai.We received the sad news with great disbelief and amazement.

We hold that the nation has been robbed of a humble, exemplary and hardworking woman. During the height of tension between the then ruling party ZANU PF and MDCT, she was always under verbal attack from his husband's political rivals but there is not even a single day when she hogged the limelight for wrong reasons by lashing at her opponents whom she automatically accumulated by virtue of being wife to MDCT president. She could only speak when it was necessary to do so and could do so wisely to our admiration as youths. She knew justice do have to take its course, hence she never took law into her hands like what other women married to national leaders do without impunity. Most journalists who interviewed her testified that Mrs Tsvangirai was motherly, something which other wives to high profile leaders could not afford to do. She was also very supportive during the trying times of the democratization struggle of Zimbabwe.

Meanwhile we wish the Prime-minister a speedy recovery in all aspects. We know that for the past 31 years the late Mrs Susan Tsvangirai has been a pillar of strength, nonetheless we hope that, the fact that the nation, region and the international community are also enveloped in deep grief will go a long way in comforting and solacing the honorable prime-minister, a beacon of hope to the people of Zimbabwe in the redemption from the murky waters of poverty and destitution from fundamental freedoms.
