Zimbabweans ‘sad’ with Obama

They said Tsvangirai had done a lot to save the southern African country from collapsing efficiently and politically. For them the relative calm that Zimbabwe is enjoying now is as a result of the hard work of Tsvangirai and his Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).

“Obama inherited a working system. Morgan came into a government that had no currency, inflation running above 50 percent per annum, more than 200 of his supporters died last year, almost half of his MPs facing trumped up charges but now peace has returned to Zimbabwe and the area. Morgan deserved it more than Obama,” Conrad Dube Mwanawashie, a freelance journalist told AfricaNews.

Mwanawashie said if Tsvangirai had won the prize it would have been one of the best platforms to unite the nation. He said the leadership style of the man, who eventually won the elections but had to agree on power-sharing agreement with rival Mugabe, took Zimbabwe from the brink of civil war.

He said: “Imagine seating on the same table with someone who instructed soldiers to almost murder you, one of his (Tsvangirai) personal aides was killed in a bomb attack during the 2000 elections. Mugabe had taken Zimbabwe to the dogs but Tsvangirai has wrestled the dogs to save Zimbabwe.”
