Stephen Kada the Tekere family spokesman has revealed that one of the founding members of Zanu-PF, Enos Nkala, failed to attend Tekere's burial because he is seriously ill in Bulawayo.
Kada also broke the news of Nkala's illness much to the surprise of Zanu-PF members, most of whom have been out of touch with Nkala.
Nkala and Mugabe are among the few surviving founding members of Zanu-PF at a house in Highfield, Harare.
"Enos Nkala is one of Tekere's great friends, he was meant to be here but he is very ill and we miss him here," said Kada.
Zanu-PF spokesperson Rugare Gumbo said he only heard it today that Comrade Nkala is not feeling well. He promised to make a follow up and find out how he is feeling.
Nkala was a close friend of Tekere. The two wrote books about their liberation experiences. Tekere's biography, A Lifetime of Struggle, has already been released. It led to his expulsion from the party after his readmission in 2005. Nkala has written a book which will be released after his death. In his eulogy, Kanda said the Tekere family wanted to thank Nkala for remaining a true friend of Tekere.
