MDC Tsvangirai celebrates the 'Spirit' of Nelson Mandela

                    
The MDC T South Africa Province and President Tsvangirai join South Africa and the rest of the world in commemorating and celebrating the life of one of Africa's most decorated freedom fighters, Cde Nelson Rohihlahla Mandela. We accept that the great icon's life can only be described with the best adjectives without exhaustion. Here is a man who despite dying of old age, had given his whole life to the service, liberation and emancipation of his people. To him, the freedom of his people was more important than personal accolades and other luxuries accompanying his academic exploits as a lawyer and the rewards or status thereof.

In the same breadth, in Zimbabwe, there are several struggle luminaries who did not chose the ordinary but sacrificed their lives for the same cause in the spirit of Mandela. Some of these gallant sons and daughters of the T- Pot shaped country lie still and motionless in shallow graves at the hands of the regime.

The long walk to a new, democratic and prosperous Zimbabwe has been a tough one. Lives and limbs have been lost yet the democracy thirst sons and daughters of Zimbabwe have remained vigilant and resolute. The MDC T pays absolute respect to these maimed, tortured, slain and fallen heroes and heroins.

MDC T ROLL OF HONOUR

The MDC T roll of honour recognises the role played by all activists who passed away in the line of duty – fighting for democracy and a socially just Zimbabwe. Most on this list were murdered in cold blood, while other members passed away due to injuries sustained from violence. We recognise that we all didsomething for democracy, but others gave all. They are our heroes and heroines. We remember them. We salute them.
