“Everyone was looking forward to her full recovery and was surprised to learn that she had passed away on Monday morning, January 9 2012, the day she was due for a review,” he said.
“We mourn this great loss of a mother who was a gift from God, a pillar of support, an oasis of love, and a beautiful person inside and out.
“Mothers are one of the most amazing gifts and blessings that any person can receive from God.
“They are always relentlessly missed when they pass on.”

Mhondoro.
“On behalf of Chegutu East Constituency, the Ministry of Media, Information and Publicity, on behalf of my family, and on my own behalf, we convey our deepest condolences to you personally, the Magora and Chigwedu families.”
