My 79 year old mother has passed away due to COVID-19. She has joined Dad and gone to be with the Lord. There is no word for what we are going through. I am praying for many Zimbabweans who are in similar circumstances and worse. Keep the faith. 🙏🏿 pic.twitter.com/cnD3AqddI3

My niece Lorraine Ncube has succumbed to COVID-19 while we are still dealing with the shock of my father’s passing. My mother is in a high dependency COVID-19 unit oblivious to what has just happened. I am praying for all those in similar circumstances https://t.co/SmBL2tbzeN
