The newly-minted Zanu PF Mwenezi District Coordinating Committee(DCC) vice chair Luckson Chikomo has died due to Covid-19- related complications.

Chikomo, a sugar cane farmer at Mupapa Estates near Chingwizi passed on at Colini Saunders Hospital on Thursday.

Mwenezi West parliamentarian and Zanu PF Secretary for Finance in the Women’s League, Priscilla Zindari confirmed his death.

“He (Chikomo) passed on in hospital in Triangle. He was diabetic and while admitted, he tested positive for Covid-19,” she said.

Zidhari described Chikomo’s death as a big loss to the ruling party in Mwenezi and Masvingo as a whole.

This was also corroborated by Zanu PF Masvingo Vice chair Robson Mavhenyengwa who said the ruling party had been robbed of a hard-working and dedicated servant.

Chikomo was elected into the revived DCCs in Mwenezi last year where he deputised Gift Mazhambe,who was voted chair.
