Trevor Ncube’s mother has succumbed to COVID-19 just days after the deadly virus also claimed his father.
The Alpha Media Holdings chairperson announced the sad news this afternoon saying she was 79 years old. He said:
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.
On the 10th of this month, Ncube announced the passing of his father who was 86 years old.
In a statement posted on Twitter, Trevor Ncube said:
_My 86 year old father, friend and hero succumbed to Covid19 in Bulawayo early this morning. A sweet, compassionate and witty man who will be sorely missed._
This is happening as Zimbabwe is experiencing a coronavirus resurgence that is attributed to the highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus that was first detected in India.
As of 13 July 2021, the country’s death toll had risen to 2 274 since March 2020 when the first COVID-19 death was recorded.
