Harare(ZimEye)The Minister of Public Service who was also a senior MDC-T member and Morgan Tsvangirai aide, Professor Eliphas Mukonoweshuro, has died.
He died early this morning at a hospital in South Africa after a short illness, PM Morgan Tsvangirai’s MDC party said in a statement.
Prof Mukonoweshuro was appointed the Minister of Public Service by PM Tsvangirai in 2009. He is the former secretary for international relations for the MDC.
A renowned academic, Prof Mukonoweshuro was elected Gutu South MP in
2008 and is a former Dean in the Faculty of Social Studies at the University of Zimbabwe. He was a key advocate of transparency in government since his appointment and is well known for his calling of investigations into a ghost voter database created by Robert Mugabe’s ZANU PF party before the just ended 2008 elections.
He joined the MDC in 1999 and was appointed a special advisor to President Tsvangirai on political and diplomatic affairs.
Prof Mukonoweshuro is a holder of a BA, MA and PhD from Birmingham in the United Kingdom.
He is survived by his wife and one son. Mourners are gathered at No 11 Woodgate, Pendenis, Mt Pleasant in Harare. Burial arrangements will be announced in due course.
Since his appointment, Mukonoweshuro encountered the daunting task of dealing with disgruntled civil servants in the face of an economic upheaval and government difficulties to increase their remuneration. (ZimEye, Zimbabwe)

Now, there is another ghost on the block” Imagine the lack of respect!!Hope nothing like that pops up here down the line. Ndatenda.
