A bitter sweet atmosphere engulfed the dusty streets of Glen Norah yesterday as MDC President Advocate Nelson Chamisa paid homage to one of the illustrious torch bearers of the struggle for democracy, Gogo Murwira.

Addressing mourners gathered at number 375, the People’s President saluted the exuberance of courage exhibited by Gogo Murwira in the fight for democracy.

Gogo Murwira who became a confluence of two struggles, the liberation struggle and the democratic struggle was further described as an oasis of wisdom and a larger than life character whose quest for freedom is unparalleled.

A picture of President Chamisa holding Gogo Murwira’s hand at a rally held sometime in Glen Norah aptly became a connecting dot between the past, present and future.

Rightly so, President Chamisa assured mourners that change is on the horizon hence people should not lose hope in the fight for democracy.

The empathetic and compassionate MDC leader explained that he is aware of the nauseating social, political and economic ordeals stalking ordinary citizens at the hands of ZANU PF maladministration and misgovernance.

A deluge of hope was outpoured as President Chamisa abundantly explained a coterie of measures that the party has in place to ameliorate the dwindling standards of living.

The MDC Youth Assembly national leadership led by Chairman Obey Sithole, Vice Chair Cecelia Chimbiri, Spokesperson Stephen Sarkozy Chuma and Deputy Spokesperson Womberai Nhende also attended the event before proceeding to Glendale where they attended yet another funeral of MDC National Executive member, Benhilda Zhantali’s mother.
