🕊️ HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES | REST IN PEACE, MBONISI TSHUMA

It is with profound sadness that Simukai Child Protection Programme joins the Bantwana Zimbabwe family, the child protection sector, and the wider NGO fraternity in mourning the untimely passing of Mbonisi Tshuma, Executive Director of Bantwana Zimbabwe.

As consortium partners under the ECHO-ARISE Project, we had the privilege of working alongside Mbonisi and witnessing his commitment, professionalism and passion for advancing the protection and wellbeing of children. He was an exceptional team player and a dedicated leader who served the Child Protection sector with excellence.

His passing is a tremendous loss, not only to Bantwana Zimbabwe, but to the many colleagues, partners, communities and children whose lives were impacted by his leadership and service.

We extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to his wife and children, his entire family, friends, colleagues, the Bantwana Zimbabwe family, and the NGO fraternity at large. May you find strength and comfort during this incredibly difficult time.
We honour Mbonisi's life, his service and the legacy he leaves behind.

“You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7

May his soul rest in eternal peace.
