Burial Of Prominent Nelson Chamisa Supporter Set For Saturday – Eduzim News

By A Correspondent

The burial of Mr. Amato Ndekere, a well-known opposition activist from Chivi South, has been postponed to Saturday morning, August 9, 2025. The delay follows a family request for a postmortem examination to determine the cause of his death.

This update was shared by his sister, Mercy Ndekere, during a statement to Change Radio.

“We would like to inform our relatives, friends, and community members that the burial of Mr. Amato Ndekere has been rescheduled from Friday to Saturday,” Mercy Ndekere said.

She further explained, “The postponement was necessary as the family requested that our brother’s body undergo a postmortem at Masvingo General Hospital.”

Mr. Ndekere’s body will be moved from Neshuro Hospital in Mwenezi, where he passed away, to Masvingo General Hospital for the postmortem scheduled at 10 AM on Saturday. After the examination, his remains will be taken to his family home in Pedzisai village 1 in Ngundu, Chivi South, ahead of the funeral.

Mr. Ndekere’s death happened under suspicious circumstances. On the evening of Tuesday, August 5, 2025, he collapsed at his home in Ngundu. Family members have raised concerns that he might have been poisoned by political enemies or others who had threatened him in recent days. An anonymous family member expressed these fears.

Due to the limited medical resources in the underdeveloped Chivi South area, Mr. Ndekere was admitted to Neshuro Hospital, where he unfortunately died.

The postmortem results are expected to provide clarity and closure to the family and community regarding the cause of his sudden passing.

Honorable Amos Chibaya, a fellow opposition politician and close friend of Mr. Ndekere, has called on citizens from Chivi South, Masvingo Province, and across Zimbabwe to come together to honor his legacy.

Given Mr. Ndekere’s influence and popularity within the community, a large turnout is expected as hundreds prepare to attend the funeral to pay their respects and bid farewell to a respected leader.
