Mnangagwa’s Nephew, Admire Sibanda (Chief Hwenje), Dies of Cancer As ZANU PF Steals Corpse👇A Correspondent | ZimEye | Admire Sibanda, widely known as Chief Hwenje, a prominent supporter of Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU PF party and a nephew to President Emmerson Mnangagwa, has died of cancer in Pretoria, South Africa. His death comes just days after his illness was publicly revealed, sparking allegations of political infighting and neglect within the ruling party.
Sources within ZANU PF, speaking on condition of anonymity, have expressed deep frustrations and raised suspicions over the circumstances surrounding Hwenje’s treatment and passing. Reports indicate that ZANU PF facilitated Sibanda’s secretive transfer to South Africa for medical attention while barring close family members from accessing him during his final days.Family Cries Foul
A source speaking in Shona, described the situation to ZimEye as dire:
“Kwotova hondo zvoitwa sei?—This is now a war, what will people do?” they lamented.
Other cadres disclosed that Hwenje’s condition had worsened due to delays in treatment, and his appeals for help went unanswered.
“Munhu akanonokerwa asara nenguva diki… apa vakamutorera ma-phone,” a relative claimed, alleging that Hwenje’s phone was confiscated to prevent him from reaching out for assistance.
