GWERU mayor Councillor Hamutendi Kombayi, has rained insults on his employee who allegedly committed suicide by leaping from a balcony at his three-storey hotel in Gweru's Central Business District. In a post on his Facebook page, Cllr Kombayi accused the now deceased Joseph Dominic Shoko-Gowo (32), of bringing his name into disrepute and making him a 'laughing stock' by committing suicide at his hotel.

"Kule Shoko has been laid to rest, you made me a laughing stock. God knows, rest in peace (aluta continua) the sugglue (sic) continues. We in Gweru will live to take life as is. It's my destiny, I will take as is, sezvazviri masango matema tipeivho mweche tezvi," reads the post.
