The Permanent Secretary for District Development Fund (DDF) in the Office of the President and Cabinet, Mr James Kenneth Jonga, who died on Thursday last week will be buried on Wednesday at his rural home in Mhondoro.
He was 70.
Mr Jonga was granted a State-assisted funeral by President Mnangagwa. Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa early today visited the Jonga family at their Borrowdale home to pay condolences.
Minister Mutsvangwa described Mr Jonga as a humble and hardworking developer who wanted to improve the livelihoods of people, especially in rural areas.
She said Mr Jonga’s leadership at the DDF had seen the improvement of roads, sinking of boreholes in different communities and offering tillage services in the rural areas.
“Many schools and communities now have access to safe water,” said Minister Mutsvangwa. “Mr Jonga was working towards the attainment of Vision 2030. He has left a huge gap.
Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa said Mr Jonga was fulfilling what freedom fighters had fought for.
” As Mashonaland West province, we have lost a great man who was dedicated to serve the country,” he said.
