He passed on this morning at 5am on his way to the hospital.

MDC says Ndlovu served their Movement unwavering till the time time of his passing on, he will be sadly missed.

It says there are no words to describe the utter grief that I am feeling right now, and I cannot possibly imagine the shock and sorrow that has been thrust on your family as well.

Speaking at a briefing to his Executive on the sad issue, the seemingly shaken Lunga told the emotional packed house that: "It is true that he was taken from us too soon, and I think you share my sentiment that it feels a little unfair that such a smart and talented young man's life has ended with so much living left to do."

"It is my firm belief that bad things that happen to good people serve a greater good, and Philani's death will, I believe, teach us all something if we only let ourselves be taught. Right now, we all are trudging through the mourning process, but with support from the whole family in the democratic world, I think we can find ourselves whole again." he said

"During this difficult time for the Ndlovu family, I would like them to take pride in his accomplishments – in many ways. His life was an example to all comrades to persevere even in times of oppression, ridicule, and all forms of difficulties."

"Rest in Peace Cde Ndlovu"

"Hamba kahle qhawe lama qhawe"

"And to the Ndlovu family, the whole MDC is with you during these times" Chairman Lunga said.
