Zimbabwe's Tsvangirai Has Left Big Shoes to Fill

Morgan Tsvangirai's epic political battle with former president Robert Mugabe stands as one of the most intriguing and important events in recent times. He was the first opposition leader to dare utter the words "Mugabe Must Go" - a mantra which was suicidal at the time. Despite being tortured in police detention, facing treason charges, multiple arrests and open provocation by the Mugabe regime, he kept fighting. Now that he is gone, can Morgan Tsvangirai's shoes be filled?
