Two Zimbabweans living in the United Kingdom reportedly
died of coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, yesterday.
Socialite and accountant Gardner Madzongo and health worker
Sikhanyisiwe Kaziboni are said to have succumbed to COVID-19.
While Kaziboni’s details were still sketchy last night, a
family friend confirmed her death. Efforts to get comment from her family in
Zimbabwe were unsuccessful.
Madzongo, who lived in Luton, reportedly died yesterday
afternoon after battling for his life in the Intensive Care Unit at Luton and
Danstable Hospital, according to his friends on social media.
Eshmael Mungazi, Madzongo’s best friend, posted on Facebook
that he was “feeling heartbroken’’ by the death.
Madzongo, who lived in Luton for a long time, was
reportedly taken ill last week after experiencing severe respiratory problems.
According to news wires, yesterday alone, 563 people died
of coronavirus infections in the United Kingdom, bringing the number of deaths
in the UK to 2 352.
The number of infected people in the UK has risen 26 382 while 135 are said to have recovered.
