Mubako, nee Christie (66), succumbed to cancer at West End Hospital in Harare on Monday.
Minister Shamu said he learnt of Dr Mubako’s death with a sense of deep sorrow.
“It was with a deep sense of sorrow that I learnt of the death of Dr Mubako. A painful chapter in the life of not only Cde Mubako but also the lives of the children who now have to face the future without their loving mother has been opened with her passing on.
Indeed words alone cannot describe adequately the pain that Cde Mubako must be going through with the loss of his lifelong companion,” he said.
Minister Shamu assured the Mubako family of support and prayers from the ministry. Dr Mubako is survived by her husband and four children.
She will be buried tomorrow at Glen Forest.
