Award winning journalist Hopewell Chin’ono reports that CCC leader Nelson Chamisa has been blocked from paying condolences to the family of Chief Mabhikwa in Matebeleland.

The police and other security officers stopped Chamisa from getting out of his car when he got to the homestead.

Chief Mabhikwa, born Vusumuzi Khumalo, died at the St Luke’s Hospital on Monday after he was involved in a road traffic accident along the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls highway the previous night.

Meanwhile, President Mnangagwa has accorded Chief Mabhikwa a State-assisted funeral and also sent Vice President Dr Constantino Chiwenga to represent him at the departed traditional leader’s burial in Lupane, Matabeleland North on Saturday.
