FORMER Zanu-PF Women's League Secretary for Administration and war veteran Cde Esphina Nhari has died. She was 62.
Sunday News reported that Nhari died in an accident when a Mazda BT 50 she was driving collided head on with a BMW near Kadoma at around 9pm on Friday. Zanu-PF Midlands spokesperson Cornelius Mpereri confirmed Nhari's death saying she was on her way to Harare from Kwekwe when the accident occurred. He said the province was deeply saddened by the untimely death of Nhari.
"We wish to announce the untimely death of Esphina Nhari who was involved in an accident on Friday near Kadoma. She was on her way to Harare where she was going for her weekend classes at the University of Zimbabwe where she was reading for a degree," he said.
Mpereri said Nhari was rushed to Kadoma General Hospital and passed on when she was being attended to. Nhari was a long serving member of Zanu-PF and a war veteran who was trained in Zambia at Mukushi under Zipra. Upon completing her military training she was assigned to the health department at the same camp. She held several positions both in Zapu and Zanu-PF up to the level of National Secretary for Administration in the Women's League and Central Committee.
Nhari is survived by four children and seven grandchildren. Mourners are gathered at W532 Amaveni, Kwekwe. Mpereri said burial arrangements will be announced in due course. Nhari was early this year given a vote of no confidence by the party after chanting the slogan "Down with G40" in Gutu during First Lady Dr Grace Mugabe's meet the people rally in Masvingo.
Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans' Association has announced the suspension of a "parallel" structure which was formed by some war veterans in Matabeleland South led by Eyer Moyo.
ZNLWVA secretary-general Victor Matemadanda announced the suspension yesterday during a war veterans feedback meeting held in Gwanda town. He said in Matabeleland South, the national executive recognised the leadership of Obedingwa Mguni. Some war veterans in the province had in April announced the suspension of Mguni and formed an interim committee led by Moyo.
