CCC Legislator Murisi Zwizwai Passes Away, Mourned by Political Leaders

The political landscape in Zimbabwe was shaken with the news of the passing of Murisi Zwizwai, a prominent CCC legislator and founding member of the Movement for Democratic Change. Zwizwai, a respected figure in Zimbabwean politics, was known for his dedication to the fight for change and freedom in the country.

Nelson Chamisa, former President of the MDC, expressed deep sadness at the loss of Zwizwai, remembering their long history of working together towards a better Zimbabwe. Chamisa described Zwizwai as affable, jocular, generous, and jovial, leaving behind a legacy of commitment to the people.

Zwizwai, who previously served as the Mines and Mining Development deputy minister under the MDC-T during the unity government, had a distinguished political career. He was elected as the member of the National Assembly for Harare Central in 2003 and had recently won re-election in a by-election held in 2022.

At the time of his passing, Zwizwai was one of the candidates nominated to fill vacancies in the Zimbabwean Senate. These vacancies arose following the recall of five CCC senators by Sengezo Tshabangu, who claims to be the interim secretary-general of the CCC party.
