Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) spokesperson Colonel Overson Mugwisi has died due to COVID-19 complications.
A family member of the Mugwisi family, who preferred anonymity, revealed that the Colonel died in the early hours of Friday.
Mugwisi reportedly died at an army hospital at the Josiah Magama Tongogara Barracks, formerly KGV1 Barracks in Harare.
He had been rushed to the facility last night after the family failed to have him admitted at both private and public hospitals. The family member said:
He has not been well for some time now but his condition deteriorated severely last night.
