MDC-T Harare Proportional Representation MP, Ronia Bunjira, has succumbed to cancer. In a condolence message yesterday, MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu described Bunjira, who died at a private hospital on Saturday, as a dedicated party cadre and the epitome of democracy.

“The MDC would like to express its deepest condolences on the untimely passing on of our Harare Province women’s assembly chairlady Ronia Bunjira,” Gutu said in a statement.

“Hon Bunjira will be remembered for her selfless and tireless work in making sure that MDC remained strong, united, unshakeable and focused. We mourn the sad passing on of a gallant and fearless fighter for the total and unconditional emancipation of all Zimbabweans, particularly women.”
