“On behalf of His Excellency the President, the rest of the members of Cabinet and indeed of my own family, I wish to convey to you, Honourable Minister and your dear wife and the rest of your family, our deepest condolences following the tragic death of your daughter Zanele Naledi Ntombizodwa in South Africa on the 18th of October,” he said.

Dr Sibanda urged Prof Moyo to remain focused and bank on the emotional support from his fellow colleagues in Cabinet.
“As you grieve over this tragic occurrence, may you draw comfort from the fact that your principals and colleagues in Cabinet, and indeed Government as a whole, are sharing with you the pain occasioned by the cruel hand of fate,” he said.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of bereavement. May the good Lord grant you the fortitude, strength and comfort to come to terms with this tragic loss of your beloved daughter. May her dear soul rest in eternal peace.”
