Tsvangirai rescues Mbire villagers

Opposition leaders Morgan Tsvangirai spent the whole of last Friday with ordinary Zimbabweans who lost homes, property and crops in Mbire floods that wrecked livelihoods in the Zambezi Valley in Mashonaland Central.

The MDC leader left tonnes of household packs that included tents, blankets, clothes and groceries for the hundreds of families in the flood ravaged area.

He had first visited the makeshift tents that are providing temporary shelter for some of the families.

Tsvangirai said government must ensure that there is non-partisan distribution of any form of assistance that will be rendered to the community.

He then gave some families goodies that included food packs and left the rest of the packs he had brought with local traditional leaders and village heads.
