Former First Lady Grace Mugabe Attends Sarah Mahoka's Funeral
Zimbabwe’s former First Lady, Grace Mugabe, who has rarely been seen in public for some time has been spotted attending the funeral of her close ally Sarah Mahoka.
Mahoka, a former ZANU PF Women’s League national treasurer and former Hurungwe East legislator died in a traffic accident last week Thursday evening at Buffalo Downs, just under 3km from her farm.

Loyalty to the end. Happening now: Former First Lady Grace Mugabe is attending the funeral of her close ally Sarah Mahoka. Grace has rarely been seen in public since her husband President Robert Mugabe died in 2019. Mahoka died in a car accident last week.
It is understood that she was involved in a head-on collision with a haulage truck that encroached onto her lane.
Sources say Mahoka was travelling towards Karoi while the haulage truck was facing Harare.
Mahoka was recalled from Parliament by ZANU PF in 2017. She contested in July 2018 elections as part of the National Patriotic Front party but lost to Ngoni Masenda
Norton legislator Temba Mliswa said he was sad to hear that Mahoka had passed away. Mliswa bemoaned how she won’t be recognised for all her hard work. He said Mahoka deserved a Provincial Hero status for her work.
