African Voices airs on Saturday June 27th at 13.30 and 20.30 and on Sunday June 28th at 19.00.

Tsvangirai talks about his childhood in a small village and eight brothers and sisters, and what inspired his political consciousness. He describes the hard work in the mine and with the trade unions, to the romance of love at first sight when he met his wife, Susan.

Tsvangirai discusses his early political career, his subsequent disillusionment with ZANU PF in the ‘80s, from thinking of Robert Mugabe as his hero, and the shock at the transformation and deterioration of his leadership. He speaks about representing the real working classes through his party the MDC, keeping the
faith through the years, and the circumstances that led to the Unity Government.

Let me know if you want any more info on the programme in which Morgan Tsvangirai talk about the challenges ahead, his hopes and fears for the future of his country, the role of the international community, and the evolution of Zimbabwe.

If you could include the details of when the show airs for anyone interested in watching that would be great:
