Zimbabwe African People’s Union joins the families of Masuku, Ndiweni and indeed Nhlambabaloyi in Ntabazinduna on the untimely passing on of iNdlovukazi Mama Masuku, widow of late Chief Khayisa Ndiweni and mother to the current Chief Nhlanhlayamangwe Ndiweni.

The void she leaves behind can not be filled as she played a uniquely significant role both in the Ndiweni chieftaincy and community of Nhlambabaloyi. She was a pillar of strength and support, a well of wisdom and guadian and preserver of traditions and customs that have suffered unprecedented attack from many sectors within our morden westernized societies and ironically, the Zimbabwean establishment.

ZAPU commiserates with both families and wishes to convey our deepest condolences to them, especially Chief Nhlanhlayamangwe Ndiweni and the community of Ntabazinduna who have to deal with such a huge loss right in the middle of an unwarranted war being waged against the chieftaincy by the establishment.

They should be comforted by the assurance that the mother party is with them during this difficult time.

May the dear soul of our departed matriach rest in eternal peace.

Isaac Mabuka
President.
