In an interview with Daily News yesterday, Morgan Tsvangirai’s widow Elizabeth Macheka rubbished allegations that she is barring some of the children and relatives of the former prime minister from visiting the Highlands mansion.
This comes after Tsvangirai’s brother, Manasa, claimed that two of his late brother’s children; Vincent and Miriro, from one of the late MDC-T leader’s wife, had been kicked out of the palatial home in Highlands, Harare. Said Elizabeth:
I am still in mourning, but it is not true that any child has been locked out. Miriro and Richard are with their mother and we actually parted well after their mother requested to see them temporarily. They are welcome here any time and I have even spoken with their mother.
She told the Daily News that she was actually in the process of arranging tuition for Richard junior since he is at university. Said Elizabeth:
People must not lie that anyone has been shut out even though some of them know what they did while my husband was sick in South Africa. I don’t want to talk about that now but people should not lie on top of their ill-treatment of me and their lack of respect.
