By Own Correspondent| Self-Exiled former Manicaland Provincial Affairs minister and G40 member, Mandi Chimene, was in no show at her daughter, Ellen Zimondi’ s funeral.

Zimondi, aged 35, passed away in December, last year.

Chimene, believed to be in Mozambique where she went to exile during the coup in November 2017 failed to attend her daughter’s funeral nor has she ever made a public appearance.

Chimene – a key member of the Generation 40 (G40) faction, is famous for being one of the most vocal critics and tormentors of Mnangagwa, stonewalling the former vice president’s ambition to succeed the former president Robert Mugabe.

On numerous occasions, she savaged Mnangagwa — then vice president — accusing him of plotting to unseat the despot through unconstitutional means.

Following Mnangagwa’s dramatic rise last November, Chimene, along with a coterie of G40 functionaries, became conspicuous by her deafening silence, except for Patrick Zhuwao and Jonathan Moyo – former Zanu PF politburo members – who have remained outspoken.
