The late Anna Machaya’s baby has died. Anna died last year at the age of 14 while giving birth at a Johane Marange Apostolic Church Shrine in Mafararikwa.

Manica Post reports that the baby boy, who was in the custody of his late mother’s aunt in Kwekwe, died almost a two weeks ago on the day he was supposed to celebrate his first birthday (July 15)

Ms Alice Mabika, Anna’s aunt who blew the whistle following her niece’s death last year in July, said : “It is true that Anna’s son died on the day his mother passed on. The coincidence left us devastated. We are still to gather more details regarding the child’s death as the Machayas were away attending the church’s annual Passover gathering in Mafararikwa.

“We heard that the child was in the custody of Anna’s aunt at their Kwekwe plot when he died. We are not privy to details on the cause of his death as well as his burial as the Machayas are yet to furnish us with them,” she said.
