Meanwhile, the Nguni family has denied earlier reports which had suggested that gogo Nguni had come into contact with a relative who had returned from the United Kingdom saying that they do not know Christopher Chitemere of Harare although they have a relative with the same name.
It said that it was a mere coincidence of names adding that Gogo Nguni never got in touch with this Chitemere and the only time she came to Harare in recent days was when she was brought to West End Hospital for treatment.
