Zanu-PF Politburo member and Veteran of the liberation
struggle Cde Absolom Sikhosana has died.
The Bulawayo Minister for Provincial Affairs and
Devolution, Judith Ncube, said Cde Sikhosana died at the United Bulawayo
Hospitals last night.
“He died last night at the United Bulawayo Hospitals where
he had been admitted since Monday,” said the Minister.
“He was so friendly to everybody, free to talk to anytime,
he was that type of a leader and leading from behind. We have lost a great
man,” she said.
Zanu-PF secretary for administration Dr Obert Mpofu said
Cde Sikhosana was a loyal and dedicated cadre.
“Cde Sikhosana was a disciplined and dedicated cadre that
we worked with for many years. He was unflinching in his resolve to serve the
party and when he was leader of the youths, there was so much discipline in the
party.
“He was a hardworking leader and until his death he was
loyal and committed to the party. It is sad that we have lost our brother. He
has never veneered off the revolutionary path. Because of his discipline, he
was made interim chairperson of Bulawayo despite being a politburo member while
they fix their structures and there was now order in Bulawayo because Cde
Sikhosana wa sat the helm,”said Dr Mpofu.
“He was loved by everyone and loved everyone too and was
very active in the party. It is sad for us because just yesterday we buried
another national hero and now we have lost our brother.”
Dr Mpofu said consultations will be made with Cde
Sikhosana’s family on the way forward. Chronicle
