Matiza\u2019s wife, Lilian received the Doctorate on behalf of the family. President Mnangagwa described the late Dr Matiza as an intelligent man.<\/p>\n

Matiza\u2019s sons, Joel and Joseph and the Charge d\u2019affairs of the Malaysian embassy in Zimbabwe Ms Tan Tsiu Yinn, also attended the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Matiza died from COVID-19 on 22 January 2021, during the second wave of the pandemic in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

His death came just two after fellow Minister Sibusiso Moyo had succumbed to the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Matiza was hospitalised a week before he died. He became the 4th minister to succumb to the respiratory illness.<\/p>\n

The other two are Perrance Shiri (Agriculture) and Ellen Gwaradzimba ( Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Manicaland).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
