“He complained headaches or pain in his legs but because of his advanced age we believe he has finally taken his place with God. He has rested.”
Sekuru Katsukunya, whose exact age was a topic for debate when his story broke into the news, taught President Mugabe and his late cousin, nationalist James Chikerema Sub A at Kutama.
During an interview last year, the former educator said, “I am the President’s former teacher,” he proudly bragged in a recent interview, beating his chest. I taught him at Kutama together with James Chikerema and this was at a time when we did not have a syllabus with specific subjects.
"Education was simply education with no categories. He (President Mugabe) had a sharp mind,” he recalled.
Reflecting on his advanced, the centenarian mentioned, “You can see that I have weathered many storms, while the sands and other rubble have been washed by the raging waters to the sea. God has seen the reason for me to stand like a rock to bear testimony to the times gone by, both sweet and trying.
“There have been wars where I came from, there has been famine and disease. But I have always looked up to the Creator and declared: “Thy will be done.” - The Herald
