HARARE, Zimbabwe (CNN) — Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe joined mourners Tuesday at a church service for Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s wife, who was killed last week in a car wreck.

“We are doing our best that we create a conducive environment and tell our supporters that the issue of violence must end,” Mugabe told hundreds of people at a service at Mabelreign Methodist Church in Harare.

Afterward, about 30,000 people gathered at Glamis Stadium in Harare to remember Susan Tsvangirai. Many wiped away tears as speakers addressed them, and some later held up signs that said, “We miss you mother,” and “Goodbye Mama.” Tsvangirai, wearing dark sunglasses, stood impassively during one part of the ceremony.

The service at the stadium was an extension of the church service, as the church could not accommodate all those who wanted to attend, Tsvangirai’s spokesman, James Maridadi, told CNN.
