THE family of Cadwell Mashininga who died in the UK last month is asking well-wishers to help raise £2,500 to send his body to Zimbabwe for burial.
Mashinginga died at St Helier Hospital in Surrey on April 27 after a short illness and his body has been stranded at CJ Reilly Funeral Director Services in London since. He was 44.
An emotional appeal for assistance circulated through social media by a member of the family reads, in part: "I appeal to you my brothers and sisters to put our heads together and help.
"I know it's not that easy to help someone you don't know but let's do it for the mother out there in Zimbabwe whose heart is bleeding for her deceased son and the son is not yet buried a month after his death.
"Moreover, the body is still in a foreign land; just imagine what she is going through."
Mashininga is survived by his London-based wife and four children who are all in Zimbabwe. He worked for the ZRP between 1987 and 2001 when he moved to England.
Those keen to help Mashininga's family can get contact Moses Nhambuko on +44 7863 699966 and Walter Zaranyika on +44 7946 827802 for further information.
