The family of Nomsa Ncube who was a Zimbabwean nurse who worked at the Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre (WDGMC) in Johannesburg, South Africa where the late Morgan Tsvangirai was hospitalised, suspects her alleged murder was linked to her photograph of her with the politician in his final days which went viral on social media.
Ncube’s body was reportedly discovered in a pool of blood by her Grade Three daughter at their flat in Johannesburg on February 18, four days after the former Prime Minister’s death. Family sources who spoke to The Chronicle, said they suspect her death was linked to the picture of herself and Tsvangirai. The relative said what worsens the situation for the family is that Ncube’s death came just three months after the death of her mother.
A relative who preferred anonymity said Ms Ncube’s daughter discovered her mother’s body when she woke up on February 18. The relative also expressed disappoint that no one from Tsvangirai’s family or the MDC-T party had visited or contacted them following their daughter’s death yet she was taking care of Morgan Tsvangirai while in hospital. Said the anonymous relative:
We suspect that she was killed, but we are not sure who may have done it. The reasons must be to do with her picture with the late Mr Morgan Tsvangirai. We were not told much except that she was found in a pool of blood in her house.
