Tsvangirai Alive And Alert - He's Been Shown On Zimbabwe TV Minutes Ago

-
Morgan Tsvangirai, seen here voting with his wife, Susan, who died today in a car accident. ZTV are refusing to confirm her death

Morgan Tsvangirai has just been shown on Zimbabwe television lying on a hospital bed at Avenues Clinic in Harare, surrounded by Mugabe, his wife, Gideon Gono and other ZANU PF ministers.

His forehead is very swollen and he is in a neck brace. What is clear from the footage I am seeing on TV right now is that Tsvangirai, although badly hurt, is not in any danger. 

The Prime Minister's hospital bed is surrounded at the moment by the following people who are being shown on Zimbabwe Television:

Robert Mugabe, Grace Mugabe, Joice Mujuru, Saviour Kasukuwere (ZANU PF minister), Welshman Ncube (of the MDC faction that broke away from Tsvangirai), Gideon Gono and quite a crowd of other people no one recognises (I presume they are Mugabe's security detail).

Mugabe stayed at Tsvangirai's bedside for an hour and a half and is now back at his home in Helensvale.

When Mugabe arrived at the private hospital where Tsvangirai is being treated, he was made to wait for 30 minutes before he was allowed to go in and see Tsvangirai, according to Zimbabwe Television reports.

Morgan Tsvangirai's car, his usual Toyota Landcruiser, rolled THREE times after it was hit by a haulage truck carrying maize into the starving country.

Mrs Tsvangirai bore the full brunt of the impact of the haulage truck (called Gonyeti in Zimbabwe) because the driver swerved to avoid the truck that had strayed into their path. If he had not done so, there would have been a head-on impact.

But in swerving, the back half of the car veered to the right and was hit straight on by the truck. Mrs Tsvangirai was sitting on the right hand side of the car, at the back, so the impact caught her fully.

    The car that Morgan was in came from the MDC....he apparently had refused a government car and....

    Washington - The truck involved in the car crash that killed the wife of Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai belonged to a contractor working for the US and British governments, ABC News said on Friday quoting unnamed US officials.

    The truck, which had a USAID insignia on it, was purchased by US government funds and its driver was hired by a British development agency, the report said.

Who Killed Elliot Manyika?

Security was unprecedented at the burial of Elliot Manyika. Mugabe traditionallu has tight security, including two truckloads of fully armed combat troops and an ambulance (he has never used it), but even by his standards, the level of security at Heroes Acre was unusually tight. Here he inspects a guard of honour of t he presidential guard with his wife Internet connetion in this country is getting worse by the day. I have not been able to access the blog for more than 24 hours now and even as I write this, I am not sure I will be able to post it. We are continually getting "conectivity problems", whatever those are. We have lots to talk about, you and I. We can catch up on the comments page if you have any thoughts. First, it should come as no surprise that Jakaya Kikwete refuses to confirm or deny his conversation with Mugabe yesterday. It was a conversation in which he really was not making any demands, but merely asking if the "insurgency" case is nearing

Another Tsvangirai Family Accidental Death

Shaun Tsvangirai, grandson to Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, drowned in the swimming pool at the PM's home in Strathaven. Shaun was being looked after by the PM and his wife The Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, Morgan Tsvangirai, lost a grandchild on Friday, who drowned in the swimming pool at the PMs residence in Strathaven, a middle-density surburb in Harare. The child who drowned is understood to be Shaun Tsvangirai, son of Garikayi Tsvangirai, himself a son of the Prime Minister. Garikayi had not been living with his parents in Strathaven but had instead left his two children in the care of their grandmother for quite some time now. Around the time of the death of Mrs Tsvangirai, I was told that Garikayi had actually been kicked out of the home together with his wife, after his parents objected to the union (the wife had apparently at one time left Garikayi for his friend before coming back to him. This was the source of discord, I was told.) At the time, I did not think the stor

Zimbabwe: Petition To Free A Two Year Old Toddler From Prison

Zimbabweans , and my readers from all over the world, take a good look at the photo above. This is what a two year old toddler looks like . A boy just like the sweet little kid above is imprisoned right now in one of Zimbabwe's most brutal and notorious prisons. His name is Nigel Mupfuranhehwe. His crime is that his mother is being charged with recruiting "bandits" to topple the government of Robert Mugabe. Zimbabwe lawyers who are representing his mother and the other accused in the case say that this little child has been beaten in front of his mother to get her to confess. Imprisoning a two year old in a maximum security prison together with murderers and rapists and some of the worst kinds of people on earth boggles the mind. I do not know how the government of Robert Mugabe is justifying this cruelity to itself, but I am more shocked at our own reaction, our silence and complicity in all this. Where is our sense of outrage, Zimbabwe? Where is our humanity? In all the
