Zimbabwe mourns mother and 2 daughters killed in the UK as father faces charges
Severe weather in Ethiopia diverted the flight, and the family now expects the bodies to arrive Monday before Tuesday's burial.
- On Tuesday, August 4, 2026, mourners gathered in Bulawayo for the funeral of Nothabo Zandile Tshuma and her two daughters, Natalie and Nala, following their repatriation from the United Kingdom.
- British authorities discovered the mother and her daughters dead at their Great Denham home on July 3, sparking a murder investigation; husband Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma was subsequently arrested in South Africa.
- Repatriation efforts faced a setback when severe weather in Ethiopia diverted the flight to Djibouti, causing the bodies to miss their connecting flight. The family eventually received them at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport on Monday.
- Family spokesperson Theophilus Khumalo described the girls as "God's little flowers" during the service at Lobengula Brethren in Christ Church. Residents of Gwabalanda suburb gathered for evening prayers, offering comfort to the bereaved family.
- Ndodana remains in South African custody while authorities pursue his extradition to the United Kingdom to face three counts of murder. Legal proceedings in both nations continue as the family seeks closure after weeks of logistical arrangements.
