Tinoonga Mawere| The Zimbabwe Football Association(ZIFA) has joined the nation in mourning the death of legendary musician Oliver Mtukudzi.
Mtukudzi died at the Avenues Clinic in Harare on Wednesday after a long battle with diabetes.
“The Zimbabwe Football Association executive committee, council, and
secretariat, join the rest of the nation in mourning the passing on of legendary musician and social
commentator Oliver Mutukudzi who passed on this afternoon(Wednesday).
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends in this difficult moment of untold grief.
We can never begin to imagine what they are going through, but we take great solace in the fact that his
music remains with us to instruct, soothe and reprimand in almost every life situation,” the Zimbabwe Football Association(ZIFA) said in a statement.
Tuku has since been declared a national hero and he is likely to be laid to rest at the national shrine at a date yet to be announced.
