DAILY ALERT
Hero’s farewell for Tonderai Ndira
25 May 2008
More than 1000 people from across Zimbabwe gathered today at the Warren Hills cemetery to pay their last respects to Tonderai Ndira who was assassinated on the 14th of May. Ndira will ever be remembered for his heroic activism in the struggle for the democratisation and restoration of people’s freedoms in Zimbabwe. The funeral was attended by Morgan Tsvangirai the MDC party president and its top leadership, civic society members, MDC youths, friends and relatives. They all gathered united by Ndira’s death who they gave a hero’s farewell. Tonderai Ndira was killed in the hands of Zanu Pf after he was kidnapped at his home in Mabvuku a fortnight ago. His body was found in Goromonzi, where signs of brutal torture were visible.

The untimely death of Tonderai Ndira comes at a time when Zimbabwe is going through the worst politically motivated human rights crisis which has so far claimed more than 60 people, 3000 internally displaced from their homes and hundreds of casualties. Morgan Tsvangirai urged youths not to be used by Zanu PF to engage in violence for money. Tonderai Ndira’s father appealed to the MDC and the mourners present for assistance with the welfare and upkeep of the children who have been untimely robbed of their father and bread winner.
Tonderai Ndira has left behind a wife and two children.
