In Loving Memory: Brenda Nyoni
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Brenda Nyoni, a loving mother, wife, and community member, who left us far too soon on December 20, 2025.
Brenda, 28, was born and raised in Hwange and had been living in Binga with her husband and 2-year-old daughter for nearly 4 years. Despite facing challenges due to a stroke she suffered in 2008-2009, Brenda remained a resilient and devoted mother and partner.
Tragically, Brenda's life was cut short in a devastating incident on December 20, 2025, when she was taken by a crocodile while near a water body. Her remains were recovered downstream, with only her liver, intestines, and clothes retrieved for burial.
The burial was conducted in Binga on December 22, 2025, with loved ones gathering to celebrate her life and mourn her loss.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of water bodies, especially in areas with wildlife like crocodiles. We urge everyone to exercise extreme caution when near rivers, lakes, or other water sources, and to never underestimate the risks. Let's prioritize safety and awareness to prevent such tragedies from occurring. — in Binga District, Zimbabwe.
