The woman who should have been the First Lady of Zimbabwe, Zanu-PF Politburo member, Victoria Chitepo, was today found dead, 41 years later after her husband was brutally killed by suspected ZANU comrades.
Mrs Chitepo who is the widow of the late national hero and former Zanu leader Herbert Chitepo, has died.

She was 89.
Her husband, who was the first black African barrister to qualify on British soil, was killed while in exile in Zambia in 1975 in what the late Masipula Sithole referred to as factionalism in Robert Mugabe’s ZANU(then ZANLA army).
Mrs Chitepo was found dead today by a relative who had come to take her to the Zanu-PF Central Committee meeting.
Her daughter Thokozile Chitepo confirmed the death to the state media.
