Alliance party secretary for information and publicity Witness Dube said: “It
is with a deep sense of shock and loss that the MDC-T wishes to inform the
nation of the passing on of two of its founding members of the party, retired
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.”
Dube, affectionately known as “Ngengenge”, was still
