Family spokesperson and Anne’s cousin, Mrs Florence
Ziyambi, said :“It is very painful. My sister was mugged while coming from a
mountain for prayers with her brother Juan. They had gone to pray early in the
morning and Anne was the first to descend, while her brother remained at the
mountain for a few minutes.
“As she was walking in the park, she was attacked and the
robbers got away with her handbag. She was then assisted by Juan who took her
to the clinic where she was checked first day. They said she was okay.
“On Tuesday last week, she started having pains from the
injuries and her body was swollen. On Wednesday, Juan took her back to the
hospital where they examined her again and said she had sustained internal
injuries.
“They prescribed medication and there was no change. On
Thursday early in the morning, Juan noticed that Anne was worse and took her to
hospital. her body was starting to get cold and moments later she was
pronounced dead.”
“Juan went to Germiston police station in South Africa
yesterday where they recorded his statement and he was writing an affidavit,
after we have decided to open a murder case.”
Mrs Ziyambi said they were working with Nyaradzo Funeral
Service to repatriate the body to Zimbabwe, and hoped that paperwork will be
completed by Friday.
