Major General Trust Mugoba, a former Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) Chief of Staff (General Staff) has died in Ethiopia.
Mugoba died around 8.30 am on Friday at the Avenues Clinic in Harare after a short illness.
Commander Defence Forces General Phillip Valerio Sibanda told the Herald on Friday that Major General Mugoba had just arrived from Ethiopia where he was deployed to the African Union (AU) standby force in 2017. Sibanda said:
He left Ethiopia two weeks ago and when he came back home he was actually on leave but his condition deteriorated a few days ago leading to his death.
The death of the AU chief of staff of the African Standby Force coincides with that of former President Robert Mugabe who passed on in the early hours of Friday in Singapore.
