Zimbabwe’s foreign affairs minister Sibusiso Moyo is dead.
He died Wednesday, a day after testing positive for the coronavirus, acting chief secretary to the president and cabinet George Charamba said in a statement.
A close family member of Moyo also confirmed the death.
“It’s true my brother died of Covid-19. He tested positive yesterday,” the family member said.
He becomes the third government minister to succumb to Covid-19 since the pandemic hit the country in March 2020.

He went on to be part of current President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration.
