[PeaceOfficer]

Harare - Morgan Tsvangirai, the veteran Zimbabwean opposition leader who fought Robert Mugabe's regime for many years, died on Wednesday after battling against cancer, a party official said.Tsvangirai's death was confirmed to AFP by another senior party member. He was 65.

Mugabe's government detained him on numerous occasions over his vocal criticism of the regime.
Security forces swooped on Tsvangirai in 1989 after he bluntly warned about the rising tide of political repression in the country.Tsvangirai also claimed to have been the target of four assassination attempts -- including one in 1997 in which he said attackers attempted to throw him out of his office window.

Was incredibly brave of him to voice opposition to Mugabe for so many years, especially after having been beaten so severely.

He will be missed.

I might not have always agreed with his stance, but there is no denying that I respect him for genuinely standing up for what he believed in no matter the repercussions.

RIP

Politically, yes. Mugabe with all his Singapore afforded health care, would probably outlive me.
