The late founding president of the MDC, Morgan Tsvangirai is said to have died a bitter man after Zanu PF and President Emmerson Mnangagwa took him for a fool soon after the November 2017 military coup.<\/p>\n

This was revealed by his successor Nelson Chamisa who was speaking during the Morgan Tsvangirai memorial lecture in Harare on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chamisa said that Tsvangirai supported Mnangagwa\u2019s military-backed takeover expecting a transitional arrangement to be put in place before elections could be held. Said Chamisa:<\/p>\n

Mudhara Tsvangirai died a very disappointed man. Why was he disappointed, because he was betrayed by people who had agreed to have a transitional arrangement?<\/p>\n

They then went to elections without the reforms, without the transitional arrangement, this what our mother was saying.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tsvangirai\u2019s widow, Elizabeth Macheka corroborated what Chamisa said. Macheka had this to say:<\/p>\n

Morgan supported the new dispensation wholeheartedly because he thought it was the beginning of a new era.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
