Minister succumbs to COVID-19
BY KENNETH NYANGANI
MANICALAND State and Devolution minister Ellen Gwaradzimba yesterday became the second high profile government official to succumb to COVID-19.
This followed the death of Lands, Agriculture, Water and Rural Resettlement minister Perrance Shiri to the respiratory disease in July last year.
Gwaradzimba died yesterday morning at the age of 60.
She is said to have contracted the virus on December 26 when she threw an end of year party at her ministerial residence in Mutare, which was said to be an open event.
Former Zanu PF Mutare ward 17 councillor Wellington Zambezi and Mutare Town Clerk, Joshua Maligwa, who are believed to have attended the party, also succumbed to the disease. The two died last week.
