Herald Reporter

MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai was given four black cattle by a white farmer based in Matabeleland to use in a ritual ceremony to initiate him as president of Zimbabwe.

MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai was given four black cattle by a white farmer based in Matabeleland to use in a ritual ceremony to initiate him as president of Zimbabwe.

The ritual was supposed to take place at Njelele in Matopos, according to opposition officials.

However, the farmer’s workers abandoned the four beasts while driving them to Njelele after they were confronted and challenged by war veterans.

The beasts are presently at Matobo Police Station.

Tsvangirai est le leader de l'opposition. On remarquera l'imaginaire qui se dégage de cet article (ne jamais négliger l'imaginaire propre à chaque culture nationale) autour à la fois du rituel magique (et secret) d'intronisation  et de ces "war veterans", anciens guérilleros de la lutte anti-coloniale et anti-apartheid qui persuadent les paysans d'abandonner les 4 bovins noirs que les grands fermiers (blancs) auraient offert à Tsvangirai.
