Moyo (76), succumbed to cancer on Sunday at Bulawayo’s Mater Dei Hospital after a long battle with the disease.

Speaking on Monday night after touching down at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport from a trade conference held in Durban, South Africa, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said:

> My brother Cde SK, I first met him in 1979 at Lancaster. At that time, he was the assistant to the late Vice President Joshua Nkomo. I don’t think he had any adult life outside the struggle.

> From Makerere University, he joined the struggle on the ZAPU side and he has been with us throughout. He then progressed in the party structures in ZAPU.

> He reached the Central Committee level and in 1987, when we merged ZANU and ZAPU, again he was in the Central Committee.

> Down the line, he was promoted to be a member of the Politburo, under former President Mugabe.

> He has also held several positions in Government, first in the public service, as a civil servant and later as a minister.

> So I don’t know of any of his life outside politics, outside the revolution and outside serving the country, or in the public sector.

> We have indeed lost a committed, articulate Cde among us, and we feel poorer.
