In his eulogy, the Methodist preacher said Tsvangirai showed that he loved Zimbabwe when he decided against contesting the violent 2008 presidential election run off. |
“This humble man from Buhera won an election in 2008, but the election became a fiasco and after the ruling party asked for a replay, they changed goalposts and then there was diplomatic activity because of the love for the lives of people,” Dube said. |
Speaker of Parliament, Jacob Mudenda described Tsvangirai as an icon of democracy. |
After the service, MDC-T leaders then went to the party’s headquarters, Harvest House, to address party supporters, who braved rains to pay tribute to their late leader. |
MDC-T secretary-general, Douglas Mwonzora was booed off the podium by the party supporters, who chanted Chamisa’s name throughout his address. |
Chamisa’s efforts to stop the supporters from disrupting Mwonzora’s speech proved fruitless. |
In his speech, Chamisa promised to unite the party. |
“We are going to bury the body in Buhera, but we will bring his ideas back,” he said. |
Tsvangirai’s body will be transported to Buhera today and Chamisa told the gathering that the government had provided a helicopter to transport to carry the corpse. |
Before travelling to Buhera, the body will briefly be taken to an open square near Rainbow Towers Hotel in Harare. |
Namibian opposition DTA leader, McHenry Venaani, who gave a solidarity message, said Tsvangirai was a champion of democracy in Africa and he fought for free and fair elections. |
Kenyan opposition leader, Raila Odinga is expected to attend the burial. |
She is not her mother, but step mother! We do not give a dime, or damn by not her attending. Famba nebhora Chamisa! Usacheuke! |

That old guard of thoko and elias is tired and should retire, we have seen mugabe clinging to power in his twilight, that old pair will never cede power to chamisa, so chamisa bhora mberi, kachembere ako ndezvako, let her hang and see if MDC will perish. |
Elizabeth stood by tsvangs in his down days so she deserves respect from that arrogant vamwene, its a disgrace to all the vamwnes in the country, at her advanced age she should play role model and respect tsvangs, the moarners, mdc and the rest of zimbabweans. |
She has a problem, vanyadzisa ambuya avo havanyari. |
if the driver forgot to pick her up the question then is ,is she relevant in this whole drama and where was Collins and the other relatives ,i smell a fat rat. |
Uri shure kwenyaya Kilo. While he may have Tsvangirai may have blessed Chamisa, what you are seeing now is the people’s decision.We want Chamisa to take over.We continue to have great respect for Mudzuri, Khupe and all leaders but they must also respect our choice just as Morgan would do. |
We, the people, do not want Chamisa! |
Mhuri yekwaTsvangirai irikusanganisa nyaya. Ko kunyarara munhu avigwe mozotaurirana zvichemo pavapaya. Ye, vanogona kunge vakatadzirwa “maybe” but this is not certainly the way to go about it. What will then happen in the aftermath is that the party on one side and Elizabeth on the other will not want to do anything wi... |
MDC-T must just unite and the issue of who takes over from Tsvangirai be decided by elections. It is so simple really. Whoever is elected deserves the support of everybody else in that party. Being advocates of Western Style democracy they should learn from the Republican and Democrat parties of the USA. Hilary’s oppon... |
MDC haisi yekwaTsvangirai ndeyevanhu, irimuvanhu. Ngakanozvisunga kachembere ako tione kuti MDC yacho inoparara here. |
zvakaipa kusevenzesa chembere to gain political mileage nxaaaa-a! |
Mr Reporter, Why are you addressing Mrs Tsvangirai as “Machack”? |
The Tsvangirai family needs to be advised that Morgan was a leader of a people’s organisation. He helped to found and lead it. That is greatly appreciated. He did not own the organisation, though. Therefore, The members of the organisation have the right to choose a successor. |
Ko ngavaziurayeka ambuya ava. Just want to minipulate people. She thinks MDC is a family business nxaa. Kusafunda kwakaipa veduwe. |
Comment…kachembere ako ngakamire zvekupenga izvo. |
Tsvangirai’s mother has a big problem in thinking. |
rebato iri rinoti kana paitika chiitiko chakadayi? Chamisa ndiye mumwe wavaivapo pakanyorwa Bumbiro iri. Ndiyani akamboriverenga? |
Lets also refrain from family politics (Tsvangirai Family). Lets give them their privacy and time and keep these politics away from the party politics. Macheka and family, that is Family Politics, nothing to do with MDC. do not link the two. No Tsvangirai family member can annoint anyone or influence and decision in th... |
PKC the clearest statement yet. Bravo. |
Mama should simply attend the final service at home. No need to attend all the public gatherings. |
Elizabeth as wife should also attend final service, she was his wife whether the family likes it or not! |
Elizabeth should also stay away from Chamisa and avoid being compared to Grace – only after power!! |
ngatimbomira zvekutuka nekupopota. Ndiyani weMDC-T pano, ane ruzivo nezvinotaura BUMBIRO. |
Is this mother really Morgen’s mother? If she is the really biological mother,then she must hate Mugabe and zanu pf because what killed Morgen came from zanu pf when he was imprisoned and bitten.She must not hate the wrong people when she knows that Morgen’s most enemy was Mugabe and his zanu pf. |
Over the weekend it emerged that a Muslim couple in Switzerland were denied citizenship after refusing to shake hands of people of the opposite gender during an interview pertaining to their citizenship process. |
Now two Danish parties, Dansk Folkeparti (DF) and Konservative (K), want to make it mandatory in Denmark for people to shake hands with mayors of their respective municipalities during citizenship ceremonies. |
"A handshake must simply be a demand. If you want to be a Danish citizen, you need to be prepared to greet politely and decently with other people. And in Denmark that means shaking hands. That's just how it is," Martin Henriksen, the DF spokesperson for immigration issues, told Ekstra Bladet tabloid. |

Downtown community forum held to discuss economic development initiatives and future goals for Utica. |
UTICA, N.Y. - Utica residents came out for downtown community forum Tuesday evening. |
About two dozen Utica residents attended the forum held at the Veteran’s Outreach Center. |
Organizers held the forum to give the community a chance to understand the economic development initiatives in downtown Utica. |
Growth, diversity, and infrastructure were just some of the challenges and goals that were discussed. The biggest topic of the night was how Utica is going to move forward and achieve these goals. There were many concerns raised from the people attending the forum. A lot of concerns come from the announcement of Amazon... |
Other issues discussed were current and upcoming projects in Utica. |
Organizers plan to hold similar forums in the future. |
LONDON (Reuters) - The British Broadcasting Corp claims to have seen evidence detailing what happened to the $10 million soccer's world governing body FIFA sent to former vice-president Jack Warner. |
Warner is among nine current and former FIFA officials and five corporate executives charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with running a criminal enterprise that involved more than $150 million in bribes. |
Prosecutors say Warner solicited bribes worth $10 million from the South African government to host the 2010 World Cup and diverted funds for personal use. |
The BBC reported on Sunday that it had seen documents showing Warner had used the money for cash withdrawals, personal loans and to launder money. |
"The papers seen by the BBC detail three wire transfers by FIFA," the report said. |
"In the three transactions -- on 4 January, 1 February and 10 March 2008 -- funds totaling $10m from FIFA accounts were received into CONCACAF accounts controlled by Jack Warner." |
Warner, a central figure in world football's deepening scandal, had constantly denied any wrongdoing but vowed last week to tell investigators all he knew about corruption within the sport's governing body. |
The 72-year-old announced his plans to reveal all in a paid political address in his homeland of Trinidad and Tobago, entitled "The gloves are off". |
"The documents reveal how the money was spent and moved around," the BBC said in its report. |
"JTA Supermarkets, a large chain in Trinidad, received $4,860,000 from the accounts. |
"The money was paid in installments from January 2008 to March 2009. The largest payment was $1,350,000, paid in February 2008." |
Nine months after Japan’s earthquake and tsunami, the country’s government has declared the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant to be stable, having reached a “cold shutdown,” the Washington Post reported. |
This means that water used to cools nuclear fuel rods remains below boiling point, so the fuel cannot reheat. |
In addition, airborne leaks into the environment are reported to be almost entirely sealed. |
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda made the announcement at a nuclear task-force meeting, but the government said it would take decades for Fukushima to be completely dismantled, the BBC reported. |
Even if unforeseeable incidents happen, the situation is such that radiation levels on the boundary of the plant can now be maintained at a low level. |
A 12-mile exclusion zone remains in place around the plant, which was badly damaged in March when waves knocked out vital cooling systems, causing blasts at four of its reactors. |
Experts say the cold shutdown status, seen as a key milestone in efforts to bring the plant under control, means that while problems at the plant are “less dire” — they have not disappeared, the Post reported. |
Fukushima, which is operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company and is 150 miles north-east of the capital Tokyo, is still leaking radiation into the sea. |
Workers have been using sea water to cool the reactors, and contaminated waste water has been released into the sea, the BBC reported. |
Its makeshift cooling system is also reportedly vulnerable to earthquakes. |
But with the reactors stable, it is understood the Japanese government will review the evacuation zones in the area, in which more than 80,000 people were made to leave. |
CNN — More than 600 cities, counties and Native American tribes from 28 states have filed a federal lawsuit against eight members of the Sackler family — owners of the pharmaceutical giant Purdue Pharma LP — accusing them of creating the opioid addiction crisis through ownership of the company that manufactures the pai... |
"These baseless allegations place blame where it does not belong for a complex public health crisis, and we deny them. The company our fathers and grandfathers founded manufactures an FDA-approved medicine that has always represented a tiny portion of the opioid market — never more than four percent of nationwide opioi... |
The statement says the lawsuit is inaccurate and misleading. For example, the company says, the suit doesn't mention that Purdue's opioid pain medicines represent less than 2 percent of total opioid prescriptions. |
The suit says the family increased sales by creating a "new 'health care' narrative — one in which opioids are considered safe and effective for long-term use, and pain is aggressively treated at all costs." |
Google+ is all the rage right now. Even under its limited-invite "field trial" phase, the social sharing service is growing in leaps and bounds, with oodles of new users joining every day and even more champing at the bit to get in. |
Most of us, however, are only beginning to scratch the surface of what Google+ can do; like many Google products, G+ is brimming with advanced features and untapped tweaks. That's why I decided to put together this massive list of Google+ tips and tricks. It includes some of the best power-user pointers I've found both... |
For more G+ tips and general tech talk, be sure to join me on Google+ as well. I promise I won't bite -- at least, not unless you ask really nicely. |
1. Use hotkeys to get around Google+ faster. In your Stream, press "j" or "k" to move through posts, and press Enter to start a comment. (Pressing Tab and then Enter will cause your comment to be submitted; hitting Tab twice and then Enter will cause it to be cancelled.) You can also press "q" to jump to the Google+ ch... |
2. Hotkeys work in the notification drop-down, too: Press "j" or "k" to move up or down in the list, and then press Enter to open any individual notification. When viewing a notification, "j" or "k" will let you progress forward or backward to other items. Pressing "Esc" will close the notification window altogether. |
3. Want more hotkeys? Check out the G+ Extended extension for the Chrome Web browser. It adds a series of additional options, including hotkeys for +1'ing posts, sharing posts, and expanding comments. |
4. If comments are getting out of control in your Stream, try the +Comment Chrome extension. It collapses all comment threads so you see them only when you click to expand. Another good option is the G+me Google+ extension; it leaves comments expanded by default but gives you a one-click option to collapse any thread o... |
5. You can take a specific item entirely out of your Stream by clicking the small drop-down arrow next to it, then selecting "Mute this post." That'll also keep you from receiving any future notifications about the item. |
6. On your own posts, that same drop-down arrow holds options to shut down comments and prevent people from resharing. The commands affect only the specific item you're viewing. |
7. Sometimes leaving a comment on an active post can turn into a bouncing-screen challenge, thanks to the top-of-page activity always pressing your Stream downward. To solve this, click the drop-down arrow next to the post you're viewing and select "Link to this post." That'll open the post in a new tab; type your comm... |
8. Google+ lets you stylize text within posts and comments. To italicize, sandwich your text with underscores _like this_; to make text bold, use asterisks *like this*; and to create a strikethrough effect, use dashes -like this-. |
9. Make Google+ a little easier on the eyes with the Google+ Ultimate extension for Chrome. It separates posts into individual boxes with an offset background and forces the top status bar and left sidebar to stay in fixed positions while you scroll. Another good option is the similar Usability Boost extension; it give... |
10. Mention (or "tag") someone in a post or comment by typing "+" or "@" and then the person's name. Google+ is still a bit wonky at times about bringing up the right result; try typing the name slowly and enclosing it in quotation marks (e.g. +"Bob Sacamano") if you have trouble. |
11. Improve the G+ reply mechanism immensely by grabbing the Replies and More Google+ Chrome extension. The extension puts links throughout G+ that let you reply to the author of any post or comment with a single click -- and without all the "+"-typing hassle. |
12. To start a private conversation with a friend or multiple friends, just share an update like you normally would -- but be sure to remove "Public" and any other circles from the share box. Then, tag your friend or friends using the "+" syntax mentioned above. They'll receive notifications about the message, and you'... |
13. Power up your Google+ Stream with the +Photo Zoom Chrome extension. With it installed, you can hover your mouse over any photo in your Stream to see an enlarged version of the image right there. |
14. The Google+ mobile app allows you to view posts from people in your geographic area (using the section labeled "nearby"). Little-known fact: You can access that function from your desktop, too; just load the mobile version of Google+ to do it. |
15. The Google+ mobile app has a hidden feature of its own: When viewing your Stream, press the menu key and select "Manage Views." Then, check off all your favorite circles and select "Done." You'll now be able to swipe right from the main Stream to view those circles individually. |
IF YOU’RE INUNDATED with invites and requests to play the likes of Candy Crush Saga, Mafia Wars and other Facebook games, relief is on its way. |
At a Q&A in India this morning, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said it was getting rid of those type of invites and are working on it. |
“This is where these town hall Q&A are really useful”, joked Zuckerberg. “I saw this top-voted question on my thread and so I sent a message to the person who runs the team in charge of our developer platform, and I said… I think it would be good if we had a solution to this problem”. |
So we do! She emailed me later that night and said there are some tools that are kinda outdated which allow people send invitations to people who never used a game… We hadn’t prioritised shutting it down as we had other priorities, but if this is the top thing people care about, we’ll prioritise that. |
At the town hall meeting, Zuckerberg talked about other projects like internet.org, which has been renamed to Free Basics and has more than 15 million people accessing the web through it, and artificial intelligence, something Facebook has been working on behind the scenes for a while. |
“We have this goal that in five to ten years, we want to be able to build computer systems that can be better than the main human senses that people use”, explained Zuckerberg. “That doesn’t mean we will have computers that are smarter than people anytime soon… the type of stuff we’re going to see, it’s less going to b... |
We take accessibility features very seriously… one of the things we can do is if you’re blind and you can’t see a photo, we have our AI look at the photo, figure out what’s in it and then read an explanation of the photo. It’s not 100%, it will get better in the future but I think that’s a really cool thing. Computers ... |
