It Remains Unknown If ED Is Attending Tsvangirai Memorial

President Mnangagwa’s spokesperson George Charamba has confirmed receipt of invitations to attend Tsvangirai’s memorial service in Buhera. He, however, could not tell whether the president was attending the event or not.

In a telephone interview with the Daily News, Charamba said:

What I can confirm is we got the invitation and the president will see the appropriate thing to do. The family has been in touch with us at every turn.

The family of the late former trade unionist and MDC leader revealed recently that everyone was invited to the occasion. The family is alleged to have gone further to ban the wearing of regalia at the event arguing that it was a family and not party event. Some analysts have viewed this as an endeavour to accommodate ZANU PF which does not know what to expect from the MDC. ZANU PF is very cautious after some of its officials who attended Tsvangirai’s burial got a hostile reception from MDC supporters.
