“I thank you Gushungo, you managed to get here for my mother’s funeral. Your son (President) Mnangagwa has assisted us in mourning our mother, we are very comforted by that. I really appreciate that assistance. I hope you will find time to also thank him personally and the Government for their support,” she said.

“We appreciate that help as it has gone a long way in our time of mourning. From what my wife told me, she is related to (Vice President) Dr (Constantino) Chiwenga, but it’s not only Dr Chiwenga, ED and his Government also stood with us during this difficult period of bereavement.”
