“President Mnangagwa is pained by the sad news, more because Joshua died without any known illness. He has sent us to come and grieve with you.
“The President is on leave and we are acting on his behalf. He sent me to come and commiserate with the Hungwe family.
“We work with Cde Hungwe in the party and she is a member of the Politburo and Central Committee.
“She is one of us and we have come here to console her, the family friends and the neighbours of Joshua.
“Let us remember all the good work of Joshua and to the family let us take care of the family he has left behind,” said Dr Chiwenga.
The Acting President was accompanied by the Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Harare Metropolitan Province Charles Tavengwa, Deputy Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Reverend Paul Damasane and other senior Zanu PF officials.
