is with a deep sense of shock and loss that the MDC-T wishes to inform the

major Giles Mutsekwa and Senator Mildred Dube in the morning of today
(yesterday), 27th of June 2022.
“A former co-Home Affairs minister in the inclusive
government, retired major Mutsekwa was currently our deputy national
chairperson. He leaves behind a very rich legacy of fighting for the completion
of the democratisation struggle. He served as a Member of Parliament and served
the party from its formation up to his final resting hour.”
