David,

Are you saying that this possibly may not have been an accident. Surely not!

Pure evil carried out on Mugabe's orders.

But he must regret that Morgan Tsvangirai survived relatively unscathed and is free to tell the world what actually happened (unless they get to him in some other way first).

No doubt Mugabe will make the truck driver a scapegoat and will arrest him for dangerous/drunken driving.

If there was oil under the ground there he'd have been long gone.

I have to say didn't anyone think the guy looked frightened when they swore him in?

He just looked ready to duck or run away.

It takes the pi55 we don't get involved because "we don't do regime change" WTF??

I think the only wrong word in this report was 'accident'.

I personally believe they were both meant to be dead.

I hope that Mr Tsvangirai has his own guards by him 24/7 in his hospital room.

I don't want to see headlines next week saying he died as a result of internal injuries which were "more serious than we suspected".

"The couple's Toyota Landcruiser rolled three times after it was hit by a lorry which is understood to have swerved into their path to avoid a pothole. "


Hmmmmmm..... would love to see the size of that pothole... as big as a Land cruiser maybe...?

So you don't drive a truck at speed......

From the Telegraph.

Choona Mwana, the lorry driver, was reported to have told the independent Zimbabwe Standard newspaper that he had hit a hump in the road and was battling to control his vehicle when it hit Mr Tsvangirai’s car, causing it to overturn.

Mrs Tsvangirai was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.

Seven leading political figures seen to have been challenging Mr Mugabe’s rule had died in mysterious circumstances. Most were killed in vehicle accidents that were never satisfactorily explained.

NOTE - NEW POST ON OLD THREAD

Did you see the latest report on the beeb last night?

Tsvangirai's car was accompanied by security guys from one of Mugabe's security services.

They got to a straight bit of road and security car/s sped off out of sight into distance. Then a truck appeared travelling fast and side-swiped Tsvangirai's vehicle.

Truck driver was ex-military and not usual driver. A white guy taking photos of scene was arrested and photos destroyed. Security guys did nothing to help the injured.

All an unfortunate coincidence I suppose

This isn't the first time a highly suspicious road accident has been used against political opponents of Mugabe, Josiah Tongogara was offed in a similar fashion.
