THE late prominent investment banker and Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency (ZIDA) boss, Douglas Munatsi, who died in a fire incident earlier this week, has been accorded a state funeral.
Munatsi, who was described by President Mnangagwa as a dexterous and patriotic business leader, has been eulogized by many as a breath of fresh air in the country’s corporate environment.
In a statement on Thursday, Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Dr Misheck Sibanda, said President Mnangagwa saw it fit to bestow the gesture on the late banker.
“President Cde ED Mnangagwa has directed that the late Douglas Munatsi who passed on earlier in the week be accorded a State-assisted funeral.
“The Office of the President and Cabinet will liaise with the bereaved Munatsi family to ensure this directive is effected,” Dr Sibanda said.
Mourners are gathered at the Munatsi family residence in Mount Pleasant.
