Zimbabwe’s ambassador to Senegal and Gambia Trudy Stevenson found dead at her residence in Dakar, according media outlet ZimLive.
The circumstances of her death remain unclear but apparently she was found dead by her chauffeur on Friday morning.
Stevenson had served in her capacity since the power-sharing government of Robert Mugabe and the late Morgan Tsvangarai as a deployee for Welshman Ncube’s MDC. Before that she had served as as Member of the House of Assembly for the MDC-T.
Her last tweet (she was very active on the platform) was as below:
Meanwhile, as #Zimbabwe ambassador here in Dakar, I have signed two Books of Condolence for #KofiAnnanRIP , #UN & #Ghana . I made the point that one of his last official visits was to #Zimbabwe as Chairperson of @thelders ,urging peace & promising that they wd not abandon us.

I’ll never forget how Trudy Stevenson sought me out & gave me hours of her time, woman to woman, schooling me on the rigours of Zim’s political terrain when I ran for MP. She loved Mt Pleasant & she loved Zim. She never stopped fighting for progress. Rest In Power, friend. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/IS4nhpEILC
