By Paul Nyathi|MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa has mourned the sudden death of former UN General Secretary Kofi Annan.

Chamisa expresses deep sadness at the death of Annan who was in the country just a few days ago to mediate on the impasse in the aftermath of the national elections held at the end of last month.

Wrote Chamisa on his Twitter account:

Deeply saddened by the sudden passing of the iconic Kofi Annan whom I met a few days ago. A rare breed of diplomat; soft spoken but unshakeably firm. He had great love for world peace & democracy. A believer in Zimbabwe & its people. Go well son of Africa, Champion of the world!
