Current information shows that his death followed a raid on Nhongo’s position by the GSF, on 11 October. Details are subject to verification.
The question is if this will bring much-needed stability in Sofala, Tete, and Manica Provinces. https://t.co/svES6oP51Y— Jasmine Opperman (@Jasminechic00) October 11, 2021
