President Emmerson Mnangagwa has urged MDC Alliance leader Advocate Nelson Chamisa and the entire Chamisa family to remain strong and hopeful following the passing on of Mbuya Chamisa on Monday.

Mbuya Chamisa, who was mother to Mr Chamisa, was laid to rest at her rural home in Gutu this Wednesday.

In his condolence message to the Chamisa family, President Mnangagwa said the unexpected loss of a mother creates a deep void and a sense of deep sorrow and loss, imploring the family to remain strong in such difficult times.

Many have described Mbuya Chamisa as a hard-working woman who ensured that her children got a decent education.

Her sons Nelson and Dalmond spoke glowingly about the sacrifices she made for them.

“Munozviziva here kuti ndiende kuchikoro mudzimai akarara apa uyu Mai vangu ava,vaienda kunotegesa huku vachitengesa murivo, vazhinji venyu munofunga kuti mdakangomuka ndiri advocate, zvakabva ku hard work yamai ava.” (For me to get a decent education, it is because of my late mother, she would go and sell chickens and other foodstuffs. Most of you think it was an easy road for me to be an advocate, all this came from this hardworking woman.)

Other family members said Mbuya Chamisa’s death is a great loss to the family.

Mbuya Chamisa collapsed and died at her rural home in Gutu on Monday.
