Home Affairs Minister and Zanu-PF secretary for Administration Obert Mpofu yesterday said Thokozile Mathuthu’s burial had been tentatively set for Sunday after consulting her family.
Mathuthu died aged 61 on Monday at her home in Harare and was declared a national heroine. A family member, Mr Gilbert Gumpo, yesterday told mourners at the family home that the family was working with the Ministry of Home Affairs on burial arrangements. Gumpo said according to the provisional programme, Mathuthu’s body would leave Harare on Thursday for Hwange where it will lie in state at her house.
He said the body would be flown to Bulawayo the following day to give people in the country’s second largest city an opportunity to bid farewell to Mathuthu. The final church service for Mathuthu will be held on Saturday by her church, the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Harare ahead of burial the following day.
