Vice President Dr Constantino Chiwenga has sent his condolence message following the death on Sunday of decorated military commander Major-General (Retired) Clever Shadreck Chiramba.
The military commander, a veteran of the liberation struggles, died of Covid-19 related complications.
VP Chiwenga, himself a decorated and experienced general officer during his time in the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, said Major-General (Rtd) Chiramba played a key role pre and post-independence.
“It was with great shock and pain that I received the news of the untimely death on Sunday morning of Major-General (Rtd) Clever Shadreck Chiramba at Parirenyatwa Hospital after succumbing to Covid-19 related complications,” said VP Chiwenga.
“His passing on leaves a deep void that will be difficult to bridge both within the Chiramba family and among those of his comrades he served with during the liberation struggle as well as among former colleagues in the Zimbabwe Defence Forces.
“I knew him well personally from the days of the liberation struggle and as a senior officer in the Zimbabwe National Army.”
Burial arrangements for the military stalwart are yet to be announced.
