Funeral arrangements for the late former ZBC and SABC news anchor and presenter, Alyce Chavunduka who died on Sunday are yet to be announced as her body is still to be repatriated.

Alyce, daughter of the late Professor Gordon Chavunduka was born and educated in Zimbabwe where she started her broadcasting career with ZBC.
She was the first television black female news anchor on the SABC's former white TV channel, TV1, at the age of 23.
At the age of 12, she became Zimbabwe’s youngest presenter of children's radio programmes at ZBC.
She later rose to become an outstanding radio and television news presenter at Pockets Hill in the mid 1980s before moving to South Africa.
Mourners are gathered at Number 40, The Chase, Mt Pleasant in Harare.
