2025 - Elizabeth Tsvangirai, widow of the late Zimbabwean opposition leader,
Morgan Tsvangirai, turned heads with her graceful presence at the burial of
Kenya’s former Prime Minister Raila Odinga in Bondo.
Dressed elegantly and composed, she drew admiration from
mourners and netizens alike, with many praising her quiet strength and style.
Her appearance wasn’t just symbolic - it carried deep
emotional weight.
Elizabeth was also spotted at Raila’s home a day after the
burial, sparking speculation.
But behind her visit lies a story of loyalty, pain and
enduring friendship.
The late Raila Odinga had stood by Elizabeth during her darkest hour, when she was denied the right to mourn her husband.
Elizabeth, Morgan’s second wife, faced relentless public
scrutiny and political smears during her marriage.
Despite no evidence, she was accused of betrayal and
infidelity, even by her in-laws.
When Morgan died, the Zimbabwean Government refused him a
state burial and barred Elizabeth and her children from attending.
It was Raila, a close confidant of Morgan, who intervened
and insisted that she be present.
Defying threats, Elizabeth traveled by road to honor her husband.
Yet even after his burial, she was denied inheritance and
forced to leave Zimbabwe with her children, starting anew in a neighboring
country.
Her presence in Bondo was more than ceremonial - it was a quiet tribute to a man who stood by her when few did.
