BULAWAYO Proportional representative member and Zanu-PF Central Committee member Cde Ophar Ncube has died.

She was 69. 

Cde Ncube died at United Bulawayo Hospitals (UBH) yesterday morning after a short illness.

Her husband Mr Khapheni Luke Malaba Ncube said he thanked God for giving him a wife.

“I love God for the way he has received my wife.

God gave us a woman who was blessed with all the goodness that we can imagine. As a family she gave us five children through God’s Grace. She has so many relatives and loved ones at work and the ruling party, Zanu-PF,” said Mr Ncube.

“We are in mourning as Bulawayo following the death of Honourable Ophar Ncube.

We join the family, relatives, friends and loved ones and the ruling party Zanu-PF in mourning her. The President Cde Mnangagwa has lost one of his foot soldiers,” said Minister Ncube.
