Vice President Kembo Mohadi made the announcement at the Joshua Mqabuko International Airport in Bulawayo this morning where hundreds of mourners were awaiting the arrival of the icon’s body from Nairobi Kenya.
The body however did not come as the plane had little space in the cargo section.

The former Home Affairs minister died in Nairobi on his way from India where he was receiving treatment.
He is survived by wife, Zodwa, five children and several grand children.
