In an interview with The Herald yesterday, her elder brother Robson Mandiwanzira said Loveness had been unwell since last September.

“She was diagnosed of pancreatic cancer last year in September. She even went to India where she underwent a major operation and chemotherapy. She returned to London and she has been in and out of hospital until her death,” said Mr Mandiwanzira.

Mr Mandiwanzira described Loveness as hardworking and focused saying that at the time of her death she was pursuing doctorate studies.
