PM Tsvangirai's condolence message on the death of Minister Mukonoweshuro
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai
August 05, 2011

I note with sadness the untimely death early this morning of Professor Eliphas Mukonoweshuro, the Minister of Public Service.

Professor Mukonoweshuro was a dedicated son of Zimbabwe who served his country for many years as a lecturer at the University of Zimbabwe before joining the Movement for Democratic Change where he was a national executive member at the time of his death.

He was appointed the Minister of Public service in February 2009 and proved to be a dedicated member of Government, particularly on the issue of the salaries and the welfare of civil servants, an issue that was very close to his heart.

I join the Minister's wife and the Mukonoweshuro family in mourning this gallant son of Zimbabwe who died in South Africa early this morning.

On behalf of the Government and the people of Zimbabwe, I commiserate with the Mukonoweshuro family. They must derive comfort in that it is not only the family, but the country at large and the Government of Zimbabwe that have lost a valiant son of the soil and a national hero.
