It is the cruellest of twists that the wife of the new Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai should have been killed in a road accident. Her husband has struggled, with her support, to replace the misrule of Robert Mugabe. As he begins to do so she is cruelly cut down. I spoke to our Ambassador in Harare today. My first question was the one asked by every Zimbabwean: was it really an accident? It seems so. A terrible accident, leaving a husband and six children struggling to come to terms with the implications for their family and their country. Morgan Tsvangirai has our deepest condolences and strongest support at this most testing of times.
