“His passing is not only a loss to his family and the Residents Association; it is a loss to the entire struggle for community development, accountable local government and people-centred leadership,” Moyo said.
He described Nhliziyo as “principled, loyal, dependable and deeply committed to the people he served”.
Moyo said the ward would honour Nhliziyo “not merely through words of condolence, but through action”, pledging to continue the work they had started together.
The cause of death, Nhliziyo’s age and funeral arrangements had not been disclosed.
