THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Keep on track!
Morgan Tsvangirai is about to become the new President of Zimbabwe. Not a bad achievement considering Tsvangirai failed on three previous occasions. He lost to Robert Mugabe at the ballot box in 2000, 2002 and 2005. Only one year ago Tsvangirai took a savage beating from police which almost killed him. But just because you take a beating doesn’t mean you’re beat. Tsvangirai survived to tell the story. There maybe trouble ahead if Mugabe does not go peacefully. But I’m sure Tsvangirai and the Movement For Democratic Change will overcome. Mugabe once sneered at Tsvangirai’s working-class roots and referred to him as a ‘train driver’ Zimbabwe would never accept as leader. Tsvangirai’s reply was appropriate: “At least the driver keeps the train on the tracks.” That’s the spirit that makes a difference. In spite of setbacks, and unfair criticism be sure to keep on track and finish what you started.
