Pass the Baton, Zimbabwe's Main Opposition Leader Urged

Morgan Tsvangirai, Zimbabwe's most popular opposition leader since independence, has been urged to handover to a "young and focused candidate" to contest the 2018 presidential election. Tsvangirai, 65, announced last year that he had been diagnosed with cancer of the colon and continues to receive medical treatment at a hospital in South Africa.
