Lenin Chingaira, the family spokesperson and son of Chinx, confirmed her mother’s death to The Herald, adding that she will be laid to rest in Harare on Thursday. Said Chingaira:

We lost our mother on Sunday due to breast cancer. She fought hard for years.

As a family, we have lost a pillar and life will never be the same without her. Her burial will take place on Thursday in Harare.

My mother was an ex-combatant. She taught us to be principled and respectful. We will miss her wisdom and the boldness she had when it came to instilling discipline at home. She was a real combatant.
