The Zimbabwe Land Commission (ZLC) is mourning the sudden death of its permanent secretary, Mrs Danisile Sibanda-Hikwa, who perished in a road accident on Sunday.

She was cremated yesterday at the Glenforest Cemetery.

ZLC chairperson Commissioner Tendai Bare said Mrs Hikwa built a strong team when she joined the organisation.

Mrs Hikwa was also credited for delivering all tasks “nomatter 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.

Retired Colonel Tshinga Dube, Deputy Minister of ICT Postal and Courier Services Dingimuzi Phuthi and MDC-T vice president Dr Thokozani Khupe, among others, attended her memorial service at her house in Bella Vista, Borrowdale, Harare, yesterday.

She is survived by her husband Dr Dennis Harrison Hikwa and three sons.
