KWEKWE – President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s sons, Emmerson Jr. and twins Collins and Sean, have funded the funeral and burial costs of Gogo Edith Ncube, the late mother of Midlands Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Owen Ncube.
The Ncube family matriarch, who was also known as Gogo Edith Mazivisa, passed away recently, and her funeral in Kwekwe was marked by the financial support of the Mnangagwa family.
The generous gesture comes at a time when the Ncube family remains closely tied to the ruling ZANU-PF government, with Minister Owen Ncube being a strong political ally of the president. Ncube, a prominent figure in the Midlands region, has been actively involved in advocating for the extension of Mnangagwa’s presidency beyond the constitutional limit of 2028, as part of the 2030 campaign.
