Retired General Solomon Rex Nhongo Mujuru is no more



By Hatirebwi Nathaniel Masikati


The late Ret General Solomon Rex Nhongo Mujuru


The first Black Zimbabwe National army Commander and Vice President Joice Mujuru’s husband Ret Gen Mujuru is no more. He died in a fire at his Beatrice Farmhouse last night.

The Zanu PF king-maker has died a bizarre death given he has survived many battles in his career as a freedom fighter and Commander of the army only to succumb to a mysterious fire in his residence. Foul play cannot be ruled out given the raging factionalism in Zanu PF and the timing of his death in the month that has claimed many a hero since Zimbabwe gained Independence in 1980.

Add to that murmurs that he was now viewed as closing ranks with MDC-T and the fate he has met was written on the wall.
