Big send off rally for Msika at White CityRelated News
The body of Vice President Joseph Msika has been flown to his rural home in Nyariri Village in Chiweshe to enable relatives to pay their last respects.
An air force of Zimbabwe helicopter carried the late Vice President’s body, departing from One Commando base in Harare to Mazowe District.
Msika died on Wednesday according to President Mugabe even though most reports put the date as Tuesday. Msika was born in Chiweshe and this is the reason his body has been taken there.
Later in the afternoon the body will be flown back to Harare whereupon it will be flown to Bulawayo and lie in state as his Matshemlope home. Zanu PF national chairman John Nkomo is accompanying the body on all these trips.
A big send off rally will be held for Msika at the White City Stadium on Saturday. Later in the evening his body will be taken to his family home in Harare’s posh Mandara suburb before the burial on Heroes’ Day on Monday.
