Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai has paid tribute to the former Midlands provincial governor Cephas Msipa who died on Monday describing him as sober, honest and objective in his assessment of the rot that has crept into Zimbabwe’s leadership.
Tsvangirai failed to join his colleagues who went to Msipa’s Harare home last night to pay their condolences because he is undergoing chemotherapy in South Africa and will return on Friday.

He was diagnosed with cancer in June.
The MDC delegation was led by Tsvangirai’s two vice-presidents Nelson Chamisa and Elias Mudzuri and included secretary for elections Murisi Zwizwai and chief of staff and Gweru Urban MP Sessel Zvidzai.
Msipa was declared a national hero and will be buried at the weekend.
Tsvangirai’s spokesman Luke Tamborinyoka said Msipa was a rare mould.
“He was one of the genuine heroes who lived true to the values of that struggle. He truly believed, and rightly so, that yesterday’s liberators cannot today turn into tormentors by brutalizing and tormenting the very same people they had liberated,” he said in a statement.
