Zimbabwe deputy Health minister dies

Health and Childcare deputy minister Aldrin Musiwa has died.

Musiwa succumbed to kidney failure on Friday while in Dublin, Ireland where he was attending a meeting with other health ministry officials. His brother-in-law who chose to remain anonymous confirmed the death.

"He passed on today Friday. The only person I have been in contact with who told me the news is his wife, Chiedza, who happens to be my sister. He died in Ireland on duty. He had problems with his kidneys," he said.

Musiwa was the Zanu-PF MP for Chakari constituency.

Mourners are gathered at 15 Trail road in Mt Pleasant.
