By Paul Nyathi|A Gwanda woman who was last week attacked together with her daughter on their way to join an overnight bank queue in the town has died.

The 57 year old woman died at the United Bulawayo Hospitals from the stab wounds while her daughter is battling for her life at Gwanda Hospital.

Irene Tshabangu and her daughter Judith Msimanga (24) of Jacaranda low density suburb in the town were both stabbed at around 4:35 AM last Thursday when they were on their way to join a bank queue for cash.

The two were attacked by a lone man who imaged from the bushes and brutally attacked the two women. The women were rushed to Gwanda Provincial Hospital after the attack.

Tshabangu was rushed for specialist attention at the United Bulawayo Hospitals where she died a few days later.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has always maintained that the country’s cash flow problems have been sorted yet people still put up outside the banks for cash.
