Mujuru family awaits Solomon's death probe report

VICE President Joice Mujuru says her family is still waiting for answers regarding the death in a fire of national hero and Retired  General Solomon Mujuru at his Beatrice farm nearly four months ago.

VP Mujuru said this while addressing sugarcane farmers at Mkwasine Estates in Chiredzi last Friday.

She expressed gratitude to Zimbabweans who helped her family mourn her husband.

The family, VP Mujuru said, was still waiting for answers.

"I am still in the dark about how exactly my husband died and the Mujuru family and me are still waiting for an explanation on how he died.

"I am still in the dark just like all of you who also want to know what exactly happened to him," she said.

VP Mujuru said Zimbabweans did not expect the late General to die in that way.

"I do not think that you expected him to go that way. We are now waiting for an explanation on his death," she said.

"We are just waiting for an explanation so that we can be set free."

She said she continued to feel humbled by the number of people who are still paying homage to the late General Mujuru.

"I want to thank you Zimbabweans for the support you gave me and the Mujuru family when my husband died and we are even more humbled because more people are still coming to pay homage to my late husband and we take some solace from that," she said.

Police recently announced that investigations into the fire that led to General Mujuru's death were complete.

Police Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri said the issue had been referred to the courts for an inquest.

General Mujuru was burnt to death in August this year when a fire broke out at his Beatrice farmhouse.
