A first-year female student from Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University (ZEGU) Tariro Hodzi has succumbed to a heart problem.

Tariro’s death comes after she appealed for financial assistance so that she can fly to India for medical attention for a heart condition.

“A 20year old girl ,Tariro Hodzi who has been appealing for financial assistance to undergo a heart surgery has died. 😭😭💔💔💔🙏

Tariro (20), was diagnosed with a heart problem three months ago and has been getting treatment at a hospital in Harare but doctors advised her to go to India for advanced treatment.
