THE late Mt Darwin East legislator and Zanu-PF Central Committee member Cde Betty Chikava was a dedicated and selfless cadre who was committed to national development, President Mugabe has said.
The Head of State and Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces said this at a church service for the MP at the Salvation Army Church in Chipadze, Bindura.

A COPAC stakeholders’ briefing ended in disarray yesterday after war veterans and civic organisations rejected a progress report presented by the co-chairpersons.
Copac spokesperson Jessie Majome prematurely called off the meeting after a war of words erupted between stakeholders and the co-chairpersons.
The stakeholders were arguing that the progress report showed that Copac had not captured the views of the people.
Chaos began during the question-and-answer segment when Copac co-chairperson Mr Douglas Mwonzora (MDC-T) had finished reading out the Copac statement.
War vets accused the Copac team that included co-chair Cde Munyaradzi Paul Mangwana and Mr Rejoice Ngwenya of tampering with the public’s views.
