Zanu Midlands provincial vice chairman Cde Lewis Matutu
said Cde Timveos was an active member of the Zanu PF Cyber Team whose work
ethic was second to none.
She was also coordinating returnees in the Midlands, as
many people from the opposition party elected to join and rejoin the ruling
Zanu PF upon realising the good works being done by the revolutionary party in
terms of infrastructure development.
“She also spearheaded women projects in the province, which
was meant to empower women. Her contributions have been greatly appreciated
over time, as she has made an impact on the greater Zimbabwean community
through her upright approach and advocacy,” said Cde Matutu.
She is survived by her husband, Michael and four children.
In a statement, President Mnangagwa said the death of Cde
Timveos, who was respected across the political divide, came as a shock.
“I received with utter shock and sadness news of the
passing on today of Mrs Lilian Timveos after a sudden, unexpected illness.
“A dynamic, grassroots politician, a community leader and
an enterprising businesswoman, Mrs Timveos’ demise has robbed our nation of a
promising leader and staunch gender activist who earned and commanded respect
across the national political divide,” said President Mnangagwa.
“Her rejoining the ruling Zanu PF party, alongside several
hundreds of erstwhile opposition leaders and activists, mirrored her daring,
independent-minded politics and tenacious search for larger unity and
consensual politics in our nation.”
