Air Zimbabwe manager found dead in Botswana

Xinhua, May 9, 2016 Adjust font size:

A senior employee with Air Zimbabwe Shingai Dhliwayo has been found dead in a bush in neighboring Botswana, state media reported Monday.

Dhliwayo, who was a public relations executive with the national airline, had travelled to Botswana for personal business on April 30 where she was eventually found dead by police in a bush last week.

Dhliwayo's parents identified her body in a hospital mortuary last Saturday and her body is still to be repatriated.

"Details of her death are still very sketchy. What I can say is that she travelled to Botswana on personal business last Saturday soon after the Trade Fair intending to come back the following day and she never came back," Chris Kwenda, the airline's passenger and cargo general manager was quoted as saying by the Herald Newspaper.

The newspaper quoted some unnamed sources suggesting that Dhliwayo could have been murdered by assailants. Endit
