A family spokesperson, Ms Angela Nyathi confirmed Matambanadzo’ s demise.

” He passed on early this morning,” she said before emotions got the better of her and broke down.

Matambanadzo was the only Member of Parliament to win the 2018 harmonised elections on the National People’s Patriotic Front ticket after he for the second elections running, trounced MDC Alliance candidate, Mr Blessing Chebundo.

He made headlines soon after winning the 2018 elections by moving around the streets of Kwekwe while carried on shoulders by his bouncers.
