Tsvangirai thanks Zimbabweans for support during illness
MDC-T President Morgan Tsvangirai has expressed his heartfelt thanks to all Zimbabweans for the overwhelming support they continue to give him in his temporary period of indisposition.
"The personal messages and the support you are giving me and my family
is humbling. I want to thank you all for that awesome support to the
party and the family, including my loving wife who is by my side as I
return to full recovery," Tsvangirai said.
"I am equally aware, however, of the morbid wishes of some of my fellow countrymen. But I want to assure them that Morgan Tsvangirai will soon be back to be the usual pain to those at the helm of mis-governance; those who oppress the people and who are turning a blind eye to all this sickening poverty around us. I remain fully aware of and concerned with what we are all going through collectively as a people and as a country."
He said he was told that they have closed the country down.
"All the suffering and struggling
vendors have been asked to close shop and join a march to prop up the
ego of Robert Mugabe. It is lost on them that it is the country--and not
the people--that must be on a brave march to stability and progress," he said.
"To friends and foe alike, I want to assure you that I am recovering. I assure you that I must not be the cause of any national uncertainty. The irony is that yes, I may be indisposed, but I am more worried about my country and its economy that seem to be in a far much worse state than my personal state of health. It is the country that we all love that needs urgent healing."
Tsvangirai it is our country that must be the biggest worry for all of us, not only for people's personal sake but for the sake of the legacy must leave behind for future generations.
"Rest
assured, I am on the path to full recovery and I will be joining you
soon to continue with the struggle for freedom, peace, democracy and
national prosperity," he said.
