He said Mrs Hikwa was determined to deliver on all tasks “no matter the circumstance”.

“We have lost our very own illustrious leader and I have personally lost a sister, friend and a technocrat I leaned on.Your death is a huge loss to ZLC and the world at large. Farewell Secretary Hikwa,” said Comm Bare.

ZANU PF national spokesperson Ambassador Simon Khaya Moyo said Mrs Hikwa lived her life with purpose as she stayed focused.

“People like Hikwa do not just die and she never died, she has just departed for higher responsibilities.

“I would like to believe that the secretary is in a better place now and is geared up for the next challenging quests wherever she is,” said Ambassador Khaya Moyo.
