By Farai D Hove| One of the late MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s sons, Richard, has said he does not at all regret endorsing Nelson Chamisa as MDC leader.

Writing on Friday afternoon, Richard said he has no ambition to enter politics using his father’s name.

“I have never particularly identified myself as a politician but I have always held what my father stood for in high regards and respected his lifelong dedication to the people of Zimbabwe so it is only natural that I try to emulate that, ” wrote Tsvangirai

He continued saying, “when I chose to endorse president Chamisa, I did it because it was the right thing to do even though I faced a lot of criticism I still don’t regret making that decision.

“That’s what leadership is all about, doing what’s right even if people are against your decision, but at the end of the day, you know in your heart you made a good decision and not only is it going to benefit a few people with power but the powerless.

“However, hypothetically speaking if I choose to represent people whether it’s in MDC or anywhere else, the process of electing me has to be done in a democratic way, to be the son of an icon doesn’t give me any prestige in life.

“The only thing it does is, it motivates me to be a better person and someone who can be respected in the society. Everything Mdara achieved was through sacrifice and service, that’s how I plan to live my life.”
