MDC supporter’s dead body found in Thames river

London(ZimEye)An MDC member in the United Kingdom has been found dead in the Thames river.
London Police recovered Mr Bernard Hukwa’s body in the Thames river early in July and an autopsy is yet to be announced.
Hukwa was known for several weekend protests at the Zimbabwean as well as the Swazi embassy.
He had been missing for several days and when diaspora community leader Mr Jeff Sango went to Stratford police he was later surprised after finding out that the police had information of his fate.
Reports obtained by ZimEye show that Hukwa’s body was discovered in the Thames on the 9th July.
Described as a gentle, thoughtful and caring person, Mr Hukwa, unemployed as he was still awaiting the processing of his asylum claim, was continuously worried that he was failing to provide for his family in Zimbabwe. Asylum seekers are not allowed to work and if found in employment, they risk imprisonment and subsequent deportation.
It was only last week Wednesday that friends found out from the police that he had died.

tragic....Mr Bernard Hukwa as he stood in London protesting at King Mswati's visit to the capital city during the Queen's Jubilee celebrations

Vigil leaders have concurred in saying that what they found most distressing about Bernard’s death was that he did not talk about his problems to the organizations that could have supported him: Vigil, Zimbabwe Association, ROHR and MDC.
The Vigil issued a press release stating:
It is with great sadness that the Vigil reports the death of Bernard Hukwa, a faithful supporter who was also a member of our sister organization ROHR and the MDC. We were horrified to hear his body was found in the Thames. Bernard was a gentle, thoughtful and caring person and all who knew him are grieving at the loss of such a good friend. He was living on his own in accommodation provided by the Home Office while his asylum case was being processed and we know he was worried about being unable to support his family in Zimbabwe. We hope to have more information later but at the next Vigil we will take a collection towards the cost of repatriating his body to Zimbabwe.
It was important that people shared their difficulties with others before they became really desperate, the statement further stated. (ZIMBABWE, ZimEye)

He was a professional teacher computing class’s teacher at Migrant Recourse Centre as a volunteer; also he helped me to finish my higher computing skills as a professional.

  4. I was saddened to learn of the death of Bernard who was an intelegent and dignified African man. He volunterred his time to other refugees in London as a skilled IT teacher. He is survived by two sons and many grateful students.

  5. Just wishing that all these MDC supporters could meet the same fate as this sell-out wherever they are in the diaspora.

  7. May his soul rest in peace. To all those who are going through difficult times it is advisable to seek help than to hurt inside. God have mercy to those who uses bad language as if themselves will live on earth forever. Death is future for everyone whether poor or filthy rich we came with nothing and go with nothing. We are all moving graves.Wat goes arund will comes around.

  12. Chigwadziso is not a pauper like you,i dont belong to MDC asshole,siyana neni if you got no sound contribution on this topic just STFU!!

  13. To all those sympathising, thank you- may God bless you! People who easily judge and say careless stuff without even knowing the person, be very careful. Karma has a way of finding you and there is a God out there, even for my brother Bernard. RIP, love you always

  14. Even though I feel sorry for this MDC sellout I however strongly condemn the sheer paranoia exhibited by this journalist. Little innuendos dropped here and there seem to suggest this myopic journalist have someone he is blaming for the seeming suicide of this refugee come sellout!

  16. This numbered person is an idiot who can’t even spell ‘bastard’ correctly, Gaydog he-ee? Numbergodzva, you want me to sympathise with the deceased idiot for what? Let the dog die, and many more must follow, bloody traitors.

  17. Failures will always look for scape goats, GNU was formed four years and the man still dies seeking asylum, why didn’t he go back home and work in Chematama’s office as one of the sweepers? Vamwe ve MDC matumbu azvimba kumusha nekunakirwa ne Zimbabwe iwo vachingohukura muma streets e London. Idiots!

  18. May his soul rest in peace. Let the Shegoat of the sunset party enjoy as his party is known to rejoice at death but his turn is coming. Honestly I wish I had enough to say a lot about everthing. I regret that more often than not I fail to get time to educate these savages.

  19. bla miki you very stupid idiot … munhu asina hunhu , uri mbwa silly bustard

  20. Vakomana imi. Kuno vanaChamisa tinavo vachirova mari yemangoda nesu imi muchidhla nhoko dzezvironda ikoko. Dzokai kumusangano wevanhu weZanuPF muchengeteke sesu.

  21. The stressful life of economic refugees is unpararelled. These guys can do evrything to avoid being deported back home as poor nobodies who have nothing to show for their stay in UK. I am sure more will throw themselves into the Thames. I wish they had more rivers (with crocs).

  22. Die sho.na p.i.g,even if the whole useless and confused organisation commits suicide who cares

  23. Chandog, it’s obvious that this fellow Zimbabwean’s woes can be traced back to the destructive policies of Zanu PF satanists, which led to him fleeing the Zim meltdown in the first place!
    Miki Dog, it’s spelt “drown”, you must read thru you comments mhani bcoz u make too many grade seven errors, hauna kudzidza ndosaka uchisapota chiparty chevaroyi… You must have barely made it into the “executive” with your five “O” levels at seven sittings!

  24. So he was still waiting to have his asylum status confirmed and decided to resort to demonstrating against his country?good riddance to this sellout and i hope no one blames it on ZANU. This boy could have committed suicide out of frustration.

  25. rest in peace fellow comrade to those people who have long mouth if you dont have anything to say or kunyaradza keep your god shut

  26. R.I.P. Son of the soil, we will continue to champion the cause against the satanists in our midst, whom we will soon strike with one fell blow!
