Dear editor,

Can you please clarify this issue, since last night we have been reading whatsapp messages suggesting that Solomon Rex Nhongo Mujuru is still alive.

People are saying the person they burnt alive at farm was his guard.

Adding to that people are now saying he is in Germany.

 

Answer:

As far as we are aware General Solomon Mujuru died on 15 August 2011 at Alamein Farm in circumstances that many commentators suggest were suspicious. The coroner investigating Mujuru’s death concluded he had died of smoke inhalation, but Mujuru’s family lacks confidence in the coroner’s findings.
