A 66-year-old war veteran collapsed and died while awaiting her turn to be vetted at Elangeni Training Institute in Bulawayo on Sunday.

The vetting process is also targeting non-combatant cadres, ex-political prisoners, detainees, restrictees and war collaborators in recognition of their contribution to the country’s liberation struggle.

Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube confirmed the sudden death Monday and identified the deceased as Nomathani Moyo.

I can confirm that Moyo collapsed and died while she was in the queue during a vetting exercise at Elangeni Training Institute.
