"How will I avoid it? There will be no place to hide."
Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s wife was killed and he was injured in a car accident on Friday, a source in his party said. Movement for Democratic Change spokesman Nelson Chamisa said Tsvangirai was taken to hospital but was not in a critical condition. He was still awaiting details.
Another party source said Tsvangirai’s wife, Susan, was killed. “I can confirm that he was involved in a car accident along the Harare-Masvingo road. He has been brought to Harare and doctors are looking at him at a hospital,” Sapa-DPA quoted party spokesman James Maridadi as saying.
Witnesses said a truck veered towards Tsvangirai’s car and crashed into it. It was not immediately clear who was driving. Tsvangirai, who was slightly hurt was taken to a hospital in Harare, but his wife, Susan, was pronounced dead.
President Robert Mugabe made the unusual gesture of visiting Tsvangirai in hospital.
Tsvangirai was sworn in last month as prime minister of a government with old rival President Robert Mugabe, set up to try to end a political and economic crisis that has brought the once relatively prosperous country to ruin.
Tsvangirai, who turns 57 on Tuesday, has been married to Susan for 31 years. They have six children.

The ANC's and government's response?
Nothing so far.
As usual.
