"This is a tragedy that has befallen our nation at a moment of great hope and expectation flowing from the formation of the inclusive Government of which Mr Tsvangirai is Prime Minister.
"We were all celebrating this major development when the tragedy struck. It is a very sad occurrence indeed. As I condole with the Prime Minister, I am acutely aware that he himself is nursing injuries from the same accident.
"The whole nation anxiously prays for his recovery which we all hope will be swift and complete.
"My heart goes out to the Prime Minister’s family, especially to the children who now have to face the future without the love and care of so dear a mother. May her soul rest in eternal peace," said Cde Mugabe.
Mr Tsvangirai’s Toyota Land-Cruiser vehicle was hit by a Nissan truck belonging to an American aid agency, Usaid, 86km from Harare on the Masvingo Road.
The Prime Minister was taken to the Avenues Clinic in Harare where his condition was described as stable. The couple was on its way to its rural home in Buhera where the Prime Minister was scheduled to address a rally at Murambinda in celebration of his appointment as Prime Minister.
