Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Petronella Mahoya nee Zvobgo, a veteran educationist and devout Catholic has died, Masvingo Mirror reports.<\/p>\n

Mahoya was a sister to the late national hero Edison Zvobgo and Great Zimbabwe University (GZU) Vice-Chancellor Professor Rungano Zvobgo.<\/p>\n

Mahoya, who was diabetic, passed away in Harare on Monday at the age of 70.<\/p>\n

She will be buried at the family homestead in Shonganiso, Masvingo rural.<\/p>\n

Professor Zvogbo confirmed Mahoya\u2019s death to Masvingo Mirror. He said:<\/p>\n

I lost my sister in Harare. She was a retired educationist and held several academic qualifications among them a diploma from Bondolfi Teachers\u2019 College in 1970 and a Business Administration in Education degree from UZ.<\/p>\n

She was born in 1950. She rose from a teacher to deputy head and headed several schools in Kadoma where she was staying after her retirement.<\/p>\n

She headed several schools around Kadoma but her biggest mark is probably her leadership of the Roman Catholic women\u2019s guilds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
