Police today left Zanu PF notorious gangster Norman Mawunga's body dumped outside his homestead after concluding that there was no foul play.
Mawunga who hang himself from a tree left an audio to his son Joe in which he accused family and clan members of pushing him into committing suicide after terrorising and tormenting him over his Zanu PF and FAZ activities.
Mawungwa's body spent the whole day in the scotching sun as angry family members including his brothers refused to have anything to do with his burial and charged that Zanu PF should bury him instead.
The body will stay in the open until burial in accordance with tradition that bodies of death by suicide are not allowed into the house. Mawunga did not have a funeral policy and he is heard in the audio pleading with relatives and Zanu PF to give him a descent burial.
Mawungwa deeply regrets his involvement in Zanu PF politics and says in the audio that given another chance he will never do it. He mentions Gutu South Zanu PF MP, Pupurai Togarepi and war veteran Mudukuti as intimate political friends that he shared secrets with.
Gutu South was the most violent constituency in Masvingo Province during the 2023 harmonised elections.
