Zanu-PF has sent a condolence message to the Mguni family following the death of Deputy Chief Whip and legislator for Mangwe Obedingwa Mguni in Harare on Tuesday.

Mguni, who was also Zanu-PF provincial treasurer for Matabeleland South Province and former Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, succumbed to diabetes at Avenues Clinic on Tuesday night. He was 57.

He had earlier attended to his duties in Parliament.
Zanu-PF spokesperson Simon Khaya described Mguni as a committed, humble and disciplined man who contributed immensely to the development of the country.

“It is a tragic loss as he was in Parliament yesterday (Tuesday) and this came as a shock to us and we are really with the family in this tragedy,” he said. “It is a terrible loss to the party and to the nation.”

Khaya Moyo said the death of Mguni left the party and Mangwe constituency in utter bewilderment.
“As Senator for Bulilima Mangwe, I feel part of my physical being ripped off,” he said. “Cde Mguni died on duty as he attended Parliament on Tuesday where he interacted with his colleagues in a jovial, positive and constructive manner.”

Zanu-PF Chief Whip Pupurai Togarepi, who was with Mguni in Parliament when he was taken ill, described his death as a shock to the nation and the party at large.State media
