President Morgan Tsvangiraion Thursday paid his last respects to the family of the late Hwange senator, Jabulani Ndlovu in Bulawayo. Addressing mourners, President Tsvangirai described the late Senator Ndlovu as a devoted and loyal party cadre who will be solely missed by all especially the people of Matebeleland North region where he was working as a human rights lawyer.

He said Senator Ndlovu had scarificed his life and his law firm defending MDC and human rights defenders.  He explained that the death of the legislator was not only a blow to the Ndlovu family but to the MDC and the whole nation. Senator Ndlovu died on Wednesday at Mater Dei Hospital in Bulawayo where he was admitted after being invloved in a car accident last month along the Hwange – Victoria Falls road. He was born in 1959 and was elected Hwange senator in 2008.  He leaves behind a wife and five children.  The senator will be buried on Saturday in Victoria Falls.        

Meanwhile, the High Court on Thursday acquitted Mutare West MP, Hon. Shua Mudiwa who was facing forged charges of kidnapping a 12 year – old girl in 2007. Hon. Mudiwa was sentenced to seven years in prison by a Mutare magistrate, Hlekani Mwayera in 2007. He appealed at the High Court against both the sentence and conviction. The Attorney – General’s office said it would not contest Hon. Mudiwa’s appeal as the magistrate had erred by failing to exercise caution in her analysis of the evidence given that most of the witnesses called had an interest to serve.

Together, united, winning, ready for real change!!
