We learnt with shock and sadness of the sudden death of renowned academic, Professor John Makumbe.
On behalf of the National Management Committee (NMC), and all members of Mavambo Kusile Dawn (MKD), Mrs. Makoni and I extend our heartfelt condolences to the Makumbe family and to MDC-T, on the sad and untimely death of John Makumbe.
As a Lecturer at the University of Zimbabwe, Prof. Makumbe contributed towards education and training of many young Zimbabweans. As a Political Commentator, Chairperson of Transparency International (TI) Zimbabwe and activist in civil society organizations, he contributed immensely towards the growth and deepening of democracy, eradication of corruption and defence of human rights.
Unfortunately, he passed away at a time, his political career was just beginning.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
