Naison Khutshwekhaya Ndlovu was a Zimbabwean politician. He was a former Deputy Senate President and Zanu PF Central Committee member.
Background
He was married to Sithokozile Ndlovu.[1]
His first born son Zenzele Ndlovu died in January 2017.
Service / Career
He was the last PF Zapu chairman before the 1987 Unity Accord. Before the 2014 congress, he was a member of the Zanu PF politburo, having also served as deputy Senate Speaker. Ndlovu had also expressed an interest in filling the vice presidency position left vacant following the death of John Nkomo. But his chances appeared to dim after Grace Mugabe expressed astonishment at a rally that a person struggling with poor health should be showing an interest in a demanding job.[1]
