By A Correspondent | ZimEye | The country’s biggest Tshabangu (defector), the former CCC Senator Lilian Timveous has died, ZimEye can reveal.
The notorious party she joined, ZANU announced her death early Monday morning.
Circumstances surrounding her death were not clear at the time of writing. She was reported dead at Avenues Clinic, Harare.
Timveous was the first and most prominent defector who singularly fulfilled ZANU PF Presidential spokesman George Charamba’s plan to make CCC President Nelson Chamisa ‘bleed from within and from without’ so that the country’s most popular project is sabotaged.
Soon after defecting, she had launched a massive recruitment campaign for ZANU PF.
ZANU PF announced Monday morning on Twitter saying:
“Former Senator Cde Lilian Timveos is no more.‼️
Cde Lilian Timveos has passed away at Avenues Clinic this morning. Born in Kwekwe (1973), she was a devoted member of ZANU PF’s Zvishavane District. Condolences to her family and the party.
May she rest in peace.
According to sources, Cde Timveos passed away early this morning at Avenue Clinic in Harare.
Lilian Timveos was born in Kwekwe in 1973 and attended Vainona High School in Harare. She survived by her husband, Michael Timveos, and the couple had 4 children.
Cde Timveos graduated from the Party’s Hebert Chitepo School of Ideology in Apr 2021. She was elected a member of ZANU PF’s Zvishavane District.
Cde Timveos was appointed to the new board for Petrotrade in June 2021, which had operated for 5 years without the governing board.
In May 2023, Timveos was appointed the national secretary responsible for training and implementation in the Citizens Against Economic Sanctions (CAES)’s National Executive Council representing Midlands province.
Cde Timveos is amongst the first group of former opposition leaders to defect to ZANU PF citing disorder and money mongering in the opposition.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Cde Lilian Timveos and the entire party during this difficult moment.”
