If I was Tsvangirai's wife I would tell him to rest and let someone else finish off - Eddie Cross

 

MDC-T senior party official Eddie Cross, who has previously come under fire for speaking on Morgan Tsvangirai’s health has reiterated that he believes that Tsvangirai should leave politics because of his health. Cross said that as a fellow cancer patient he understands what Tsvangirai is going through. He added that if he was Tsvangirai’s late wife Susan, he would advise Tsvangirai to take time away from politics and leave the party’s leadership to someone else.

In an interview with the Standard, Cross said:

I believe that the person that has high command to win elections now is Morgan Tsvangirai, but we must also look at that if his medical condition becomes difficult that he is unable to do that, and then we have to be honest and think about what to do.

Tsvangirai is my president and I will support whatever decision he takes, but if I was his late wife Susan, whom I knew very well, and she was a fantastic person, I would say to Morgan it is time to take a rest and let someone finish off.

My family has said the same to me that I must not stand again for elections because last year I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and my doctor said I should undergo treatment for the next two years. However, the cancer is not yet impacting seriously on my life and it is not my decision to leave politics. I am committed to changing Zimbabwe.

In the past, Cross was criticised by MDC-T secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora, for suggesting that party president Morgan Tsvangirai may not be able to handle the 2018 elections due to poor health.
