The Zimbabawe PM Morgan Tsvangirai and his wife, Susan, travelling in a convoy of vehicles were struck by an articulated truck that has injured the PM and killed his wife.

In VOA news: “Sources within the party who declined to speak on the record expressed suspicions about the incident in which the articulated truck swerved from the oncoming lane into the three-car convoy in which the Tsvangirais were traveling, clipping their middle vehicle.”

The UK Guardian reported: The party said there was no immediate reason to believe the accident was suspicious, but it was awaiting full details. An MDC official said that from information at the scene it appeared the lorry driver fell asleep at the wheel.

and the NYTimes quotes a Zimbabwean official saying: “What he told me was that the truck went for his car,” said Dennis Murira, director of public affairs in the prime minister’s office. “That’s how he put it.”

Apparently the truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and then his truck left his side of the highway and ploughed into the PMs vehicle, picking it out from the convoy that surrounded it.

Although one must accept that it is a tragedy first, Mugabe must accept that it does look to the world that he engineered this. What is that monster is still doing in Government? By violating the will of his own people he exacts a reputation that this event can only cast a shadow upon him. It looks really bad.

Underneath it all, calling it terror or tragedy seems horribly insufficient.

It is a horror of the worst order as Susan Tsvangirai is respected by the Zimbabwean people, and worked with her husband who recently became the PM in a deal that also kept Mugabe in power as President. Mugabe seems to be in control of security police that acts against process to secure the jailing of political opponents, inflict beatings and violence upon political opponents and kill people.

There is no person more hated in this world than Robert Mugabe. He should have given up years and years ago.
