Morgan Tsvangirai has the potential to become the country’s next president and the majority of Zimbabweans say “Amen” to that, however, the man’s most recent sex contacts have raised eyebrows both on friends and foes.
He has bed hopped; accusations that he has impregnated two women inside a year have seen the media descending on him for it was outright sensational.
The ordinary persons asks what kind of a message is this man, who could become the country’s third president since independence in 1980, sending to the youths who obviously regard him as a role model.
Zimbabweans, scared of the HIV and AIDS pandemic , now fear that the next president could be taking chances with his life especially considering that he is obviously not using any form of protection.
In kombis people have condemned him as a womanizer and many think Tsvangirai should go for tests, so as to lead by example. People love him so much that they want to see him live longer and think that HIV infection could limit his stay on lovely earth.
Even though President Robert Mugabe has ordered the media not to be frenetic about the Prime Minister sexpacades many people did not take him seriously because he too is guilty of taking other people’s women.
As the country celebrates falling HIV and AIDS infection rates, people would like to see their political leaders taking the lead role in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
For many people Tsvangirai is a paragon of virtue whose behavior should be beyond reproach.
The man has survived assassinations attempts and to many people he is failing to survive the temptations of women.
