Hatcliff – In a tragic turn of events, Corporal (CPL) Aleck Kamudzanga, a dedicated member of the Zimbabwe National Army, passed away on Wednesday while socialising with his brother at a tuckshop in Hatcliff. The 47-year-old soldier, born in December 1978, was a bricklayer with the Construction Regiment and was known for his kindness and dedication to helping others.
“Aleck was a man of the people, always wanting to see others happy,” said Brighton Matizanadzo, a colleague and friend from the Zimbabwe National Army. “He helped many home seekers acquire stands, and his kindness will be deeply missed.”
Kamudzanga’s funeral was held yesterday in Glenforest with full military honours, attended by top ZANU-PF leadership and multitudes of mourners. A military parade was conducted at Pomona barracks, where he was attached, to bid him farewell.
Col. Nobela, speaking at the funeral, praised Kamudzanga’s unwavering commitment to his work and community. “He was a man of great character, always putting others first,” he said.
Kamudzanga is survived by his wife and three children. His legacy of service and kindness will continue to inspire those who knew him .
