PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa, will not be attending the late MDC leader and former Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's memorial service to be held in Buhera Saturday.
Tsvangirai died on Valentines' Day last year and was accorded a State assisted funeral. His family announced it had invited Mnangagwa to the memorial service.
However, Tsvangirai's young brother and family spokesperson Manase sais that the President would instead be represented by an official whose name the family was yet to be advised.
"President Mnangagwa has a busy schedule and will not attend but he has promised to send a representative," said Manase.
Mnangagwa and Chamisa have avoided each other in the aftermath of a bruising election last year, won by the Zanu-PF leader amid claims of rigging from the opposition.
