May his soul rest in eternal peace.
it is with great shock and sadness that I learn about the death of my great hero, VaMsipa. He was a humble., approachable, open-minded, loving, jocular and visionary political and community leader who loved Zvishavane , Midlands Province, and Zimbabwe. I rember vividly working with him on electrification and computerisation projects while I was a teacher( a small man) in Zvishavane District. When he was Governor, Midlands Province, I was always humbled by his open-door policy. Sorry to Vana Mdala Obert, the Siboza-Ngomeyebani community , Midlands Province, and to you mother Zimbabwe. Hamba kale Mdala wami!
ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE VISIONARY LEADER PASSED AWAY AT A TIME WE NEEDED HIM FOR THE FINAL DEMOCRATIZATION AND LIBERATION OF ZIMBABWEANS.GO WELL SON OF THE SOIL.
It is with a heavy saddness that we lose this great man. He loved his people, he loved his district and loved his country and always did what he felt was good and right for all.
An irreplaceable asset of the midlands and Zimbabwe.
May he rest in pease.
Its unfortunate that @85,some people still want more in political hence the country needs new blood to take our lovely Nation ahead,Zimbabwe is what it is now because of all these old people who still believe those times of 1980s when we leave in the advanced times.what change was he gonna bring @85.
