juyhtgrfPresident Robert Mugabe says the car crash that killed Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s wife was “the hand of God”.

“It will take him time to recover from this shock. I plead with you to accept it, it’s the hand of God,” Mr Mugabe told hundreds of mourners gathered at a Methodist church in Harare today for a funeral service for Susan Tsvangirai.

The remarks were Mr Mugabe’s first public comments on the crash that injured Tsvangirai and killed his wife on Friday.

An oncoming truck hit their four-wheel drive on a potholed highway outside Harare, sending their vehicle flipping off the road.

Mr Mugabe and his wife Grace visited Mr Tsvangirai in hospital shortly after the collision, which had sparked speculation that the crash was linked to a long history of political leaders dying in suspicious accidents.

Mr Mugabe, whose supporters staged deadly attacks against Mr Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) around last year’s elections, said it was time for Zimbabwe to move past the violence.

“We are doing our best that we create a conducive environment and tell our supporters that the issue of violence must end,” he said.

“Rest assured we are with you, honourable prime minister. Our hearts on this day and the days to follow, we are with you,” he added.

Susan Tsvangirai will be buried tomorrow.

    Mkuru matauriro ake ane nyambo. I think Mugabe should retire to his rural home. Hamadziripi akambo bhowa mu Moza agariswa dare na Crocodile. This truck was being driven by a Zimbabwean driver. The same driver was seen with unknown people at his house. So maybe those drak glasses people who visited the driver were “angels from God”???????

    Cain Nkala akambonzi twukomana twaiva kubhora Gweru musi waurawa Cain twubvume kuti nditwo. BUt the wife had seen people who took her husband that fatefull day…. Zvakangopera zvakadaro nazvino akauraya Cain Nkala is still free….
    Nhasi tonzi Mwanda na Muchirahondo both USAID drivers are to appear in court.. one is said to have fired at Shiri (for what?) the other killed Susan on the road?…. So this time ZANU PF blood planners are trying to trick the world into believing that the AID organisations in Zim are there to distabilize the country. Its juts ridiculous for them to think level headed Zimbabweans would buy that. Tinoda AID tochema ma sanctions, vatipa aid we try to smear them with pre-indepence mafia type of eliminating oponents?
    USAID was not there when Chitepo or Tongogara died. The tricks are still the same and this time they want to associate the killings with USAID. Saka hypocricy yekuti we cry foul about sanctions at the same time trying to say USAID workers are upto something not good. Kuita kunge zvirikuitika Sudan.
    My concern is the association of USAID to all this…. so are they also saying those who were killed in accidents with army trucks (eg Ndangama, Ziyambi, Chris Ushewekunze to name a few) were killed by the army? This USAID drivers Mwanda and Muchirahondo’s cases will just be like Khetani Sibanda’s case (who was said to have killed Can Nkala)…. The world forgets and move on, its only the family that will keep remembering Cain. The courts failed because they know the exact people who did it.
    If the govenement knew nothing about circumstances leading to Morgan’s crash, why did they arrest photographers? Whats there to hide? They wanted to plant a “pot hole” that was not there during the time of crash?

    danny you are foolish like mugabe, really his crocodile tears aren’t needed at all. We are just politically mature that we even gave the murderer mugabe a chance to speak at the memorial service. The fact that Tsvangirai has said that there was no foul play, signifies his willingness to work for peace in Zimbabwe. We all know that zanu kills and foul play is written all over this accident, just answer why the photographer was arrested and the MDC investigators.
    We will never forget what mugabe has done to us Zimbabweans, and we live to celebrate when he will leave us on this earth and go to his relative the devil in hell.

    Ndizvo Guseni, why arrest a photographer? Why arrest private investogators? These private investigators were going to help clear Matibili’s name if he is innnocent.

    Khetani Sibanda was broad casted live on TV admitting to have “killed” Cain with shoe laces. So where is Khetani now? If Khetani showed policemen and Barwe where Cain’s body was and explained how he killed him, why was he not charged of murder? If it was proved that Khetani was innocent, so who knew where Cain’s body was?
    Its ok to forget the evils of ZANU PF and move on but its not okay for the families not to see justice being done. Its also instills the culture of immunity amongst the killers. Those who believe in teh innocence of ZANU PF thats ok they shouuld do so till the day they meet their fate like Gezi and Manyika who used to defend the thugs as if they were fighting for their own lives yet they were exposing themselves to “accidents”

    but of coz Mukuru is speaking with a forked tongue apa.Hanti that expression means Mugabe himself? Didn’t one man call himself the back Jesus and go on to kill tens of thousands? Didn’t another get labelled the son of God and is reputedly the rchest man in the land? Ko akanzwikwa achiti only God can remove him ndiani? We know Mugabe meant he is God in Zimbabwe and he knows about this accident.
    On another note, how many of you were disturbed by the sight of Bonyongwe kuAvenues Clinic? We hardly ever see pictures of the man and yet there he is at the scene of a controversial event which, if there is any truth to the assasination rumours, begs the question what did he feel he had to do at the clinic? If he was doing his job he should have been at the scene of the accident in Beatrice. Kana iye Mugabe wacho how can they show such caring for Tsvangirayi and yet vanaNdira na’naChiminya, ana Jongwe vakaponda? Chachinja chii? Hanti musi uno Mugabe kusanyara akada kupinza more than the required 15 ministers pa-swearing in?
    Who is fooling who, here?
    Bob Marley said you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can’t fool all the people all the time. Hameno whoever is still been fooled by Mugabe mukore uno.

    R.I.P. Fox Corner. You people who think the USAID does not assasinate people must read Latin American history. USAID is an extension of the CIA and manned by personnel from the same organisation and who does not know how angry the Americans are with the GPA and the inclusive gvt.

    at least BOB is not promoting hate speech here. he has found good grounds to change his tone. it’s good for the country thanks also to Morgan for stretching the hand first even before the investigations are through he quickly ruled out foul play ZIM is maturing lets hope these are not spe****s at funerals then act bad after. it must be the beginning of a new Zim and we will say the deathj of Susan was painful to the nation but later turned to be a platform for reconciliation. RIP Mrs Tsvangirayi

    There are always people named “chandagwinyira shavi rebenzi”. The likes of moms is not an exceptional as well as those who support your ideas. Initially, R.I.P mother Susan Tsvangirai. Forgive me because I want to teach vasingazivi. Asingazivi ngaadzidziswe. Iwe moms why do you hate Mugabe as if he pissed on you while asleep? It doesn’t puzzle me that you even go to church but you accuse people as if you are God. God surely will punish you. At times we waffle because of unnecessary hatred. You are what you are indirectly or directly because of Mugabe of course Mwari ari behind him. Chinonyanya kukunyongonya chii pahuku yomweni? Wake up and think upright. Let me give you a tip. A few hours after Tsvangirai denounced sunctions the coloured and racist Obama extended them by a year. What a u-turn by America on Tsvangirai. What then can stop them from destroying Tsvangirai while we all know that Tsvangison deviated from their initial covenant. Akazvikanya by joining GNU and now his friends want to demolish him. So think of the power of CIA and its link to all wars around the world. Why then did Britain and America quickly admit that it was a genuine accident? So that they won’t be further investigations. The reason why the camera man and others were arrested was because they may be used to hide evidence so they cannot be spared until the accident causes are crystal clear. Don’t just rush at times simply because haugoni kuregerera. Ko kana kuri kuroyana kwevakadzi vaTsvangison ivo vanonzi vanodarika five?

    We shall party till the morning when mugabe dies, why we hate him so much is because he has killed and maimed our parents, relatives and friends since 1980 instead of leading us to prosperity. Morgan never called for sanctions, it is mugabes dictactorial ways that invited sanctions. zanu supporters tend to have a short memory, the international community did mention last year that as long as mugabe is in the picture no sanctions will be lifted in zimbabwe. And looking at the way this GNU came about with you zanu fools wanting to bring extra cabinet members behind the door, farm invansions continuing, funny accidents still with us, sanctions shall continue.

    Zvinavashe has died as well, I think mugabe should know that he is following. The best is for him to rest and entertain his small kids while he still has ernegy. The country does not need him anymore, he can do what the honourable people like Mandela have done, retire and spend time with grandchildren. If there are any CIOs in this forum please send this message to your boss and stop murdering innocent Zimbabweans.

    Hating Mugabe or Tsvangirai will not help any odinary person.Those two great men have crafted thier own piece of history.Wishing either of them dead will not help you to send your children to school and provide food on the table for your family.You will all die with envy.Make your own names great rather than worrying on other poeple’s success.They are using all of us to achieve their dreams that one day they will become number one men in the country and now they are.People should not fool themselves,politics is a dirty game,what will all of you do when you find out one day that these two men are close relatives because of their wives.Guys I bet Mugabe and Tsvangirai willl never kill each other ecept denoucing each other in public to impress their idiotic supporters who inturn hate and kill each other.People who like politics too much most of them are the poorest especially here in Africa.Fox and Susan are both heroes in their own because they fought different battles to achieve their goals.
