in contrast to mr mugabe's exclusionary politics, mr tsvangirai welcomed everybody. president tsvangirai managed to bring together the students, the workers, commercial farmers, traditional leaders, war veterans and business people. stunned by his popularity, zanu—pf‘s response was visceral, with endless arrests, beatings and assassination attempt and treason charges. president mugabe suffered his first ever defeat at the polls to mr tsvangirai, who later pulled out of the run—off because of vote—rigging and violence. if he did not... the cheat, which was then advanced to morgan, and he accepted it. he would have been president in that time. i, morgan richard tsvangirai... many were, therefore, disappointed when he agreed to serve under mr mugabe in a powersharing agreement. in the following elections, he lost heavily. he blamed rigging. his critics said he'd lost credibility, abandoned his working—class roots for the lavish lifestyle common among zanu—pf. but many here will remember morgan tsvangirai as the working—class hero, whose fight for democracy

he claimed to have won a majority, but mugabe held onto office until deposed last november. for more, we are joined by privilege from harare. thank you so much for being with us. we know that tsvangirai died in a clinic in johannesburg, apparently. he had reportedly been suffering from colon cancer. his death will be an enormous blow to the opposition in zimbabwe, won't it? privilege: definitely. his death is a big blow to the opposition party in zimbabwe. since 1999, he's the man who has given the former president robert mugabe the run for his money. and he contested the 2000 election, 2005, subsequently up to 2013. he was the strongest opposition leader in zimbabwe. and contesting elections, again, tsvangirai, he has stood the test of time. in 2008, it's said that victory was snatched away from him. he had won elections, but president mugabe and his administration would not accept his victory. so this is a big blow to the opposition politics in zimbabwe. particularly coming now when the opposition is facing another election in 2018. sarah: now we know that tsvangirai's car
