Jonathan Moyo requests second autopsy

Government yesterday reportedly conducted a second post-mortem on Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo's daughter, Zanele, after the family expressed reservations over the first autopsy conducted by South African authorities, whose results have not yet been released.

Close family sources said the second autopsy was done yesterday by a government pathologist under the close supervision of the police.

"After the professor (Moyo) had briefed the family upon his arrival with the body from South Africa, it was felt that a second autopsy be done here so that a second opinion is received to determine what really happened and the report is not yet out," the source said.
