Msipha (53) died in a traffic accident early Thursday
morning along N1 highway in Limpopo Province on his way to Johannesburg, South
Africa. Five people, including Msipha died on the spot.
“The party has lost a giant of a man, a loyal cadre who was
committed to free people of Zimbabwe from Zanu PF slavery. We blame the loss of
Msipha on Zanu PF which only knows how to fix elections and not the economy
forcing our brothers and sisters to cross the borders to other countries in
search for food for their families,” MDC Bulawayo deputy spokesperson Edwin
Ndlovu said.
“Msipha was a cross-border transporter who was trying to
provide for his family. Had the Zimbabwe economy been good, Senator Msipha
would be alive today working here at home or running a business here in
Zimbabwe, but because of this government, our colleague is no more. We mourn
with the Msipha family.”
Mourners are gathered at house number 389, 9th street
Makokoba, Bulawayo. Ndlovu said Msipha’s body will be repatriated back home on
Thursday.
Msipha was the MDC senator for Makokoba from 2006 to 2008
and is survived by his wife Debra and five children. He will be buried at
Bulawayo’s Lady Stanley cemetery on Saturday. Newsday
