By Own Correspondent| One of the victims of the Zimbabwe National Army shooting which claimed 5 other lives in Harare, Sylvia Maposa was yesterday (Saturday) laid to rest at Zororo cemetery along Seke road in Harare.

Maposa who was shot in the back by soldiers who opened live ammunition at protestors and civilians in Harare on August 1 2018 is survived by her husband and two children.

A sombre atmosphere gripped Waterfalls in Harare as Maposa’s relatives, friends and neighbours could not come to terms with her death which they described as untimely.

Maposa was shot while she was on her way home after being dismissed early from work by her superiors. She however did not take part in the violent protests which rocked Harare.

Former Tourism minister, Prisca Mupfumira who is related to the deceased told Times Live that the family was optimistic that justice would be served and those responsible for the mayhem arrested.

Mupfumira revealed that Maposa who was her aunt was caught in the crossfire during clashes between the military and MDC Alliance supporters in the capital, Harare, on Wednesday.

“She was innocently coming from work and was caught in the crossfire. Imagine finding out through social media, and identifying her body through the dress she was wearing lying down,” said Mupfumira.

Mupfumira said her late aunt was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa is on record apportioning blame to the MDC Alliance leadership arguing that they were responsible for the loss of 6 lives, injury to dozens others and destruction of property.

However, the MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa refuted the claims arguing that those responsible for violence are not members of his party querying why the ZNA fired live rounds on civilians inclyding the late Maposa.
