AlJ has a summary of his life LINK...
It's a dark moment for Zimbabwe. Iconic opposition leader and former Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has died after a two-year battle against colon cancer. His death will remain as one of the rare moments that has united Zimbabwean politicians from across the political divide.
His loyal supporters are inconsolable at the loss of their icon, but perhaps the greatest tribute is that those from the ruling elite, who have opposed and ridiculed him as a politician, have shown him respect.
Tsvangirai has, without doubt, been one of the greatest and most influential political figures in Zimbabwean history. He has always fought for the underdog, starting his activism as a trade unionist while working in a nickel mine.
no, not as earth shaking as finding a few Russians trolled Facebook but in the long run more important for the people of Zimbabwe.
As I pointed out earlier: The real heroes are not fake silicon valley type Marvel universe heroes, but those who actually put their life on their line for their people.
