Retired Brigadier-General Agrippah Mutambara, the leader of Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF) party, says MDC Alliance president Morgan Tsvangirai deserves a hero's status for being one of the first opposition leaders in the country to openly challenge President Robert Mugabe's leadership.
He was speaking at the launch of the MDC Alliance in Bulawayo on Saturday.
Mutambara said Tsvangirai showed rare braveness by criticizing President Mugabe and Zanu-PF during the 90s when he was still the secretary-general of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions.
"Cde Tsvangirai is my hero. When it was a taboo to condemn Mugabe, Tsvangirai stood up and said Mugabe must go. To me, because of that stance he is my hero," said Mutambara.
