The former army general, who has been battling a kidney ailment requiring regular dialysis, died after a long illness with close government sources saying he succumbed to COVID-19 at a local private hospital. In a statement, President Mnangagwa said Moyo succumbed to Covid19 at a private hospital in Harare. Mnangagwa said further funeral arrangements will be announced in due course. “His Excellency President Emmerson Mnangagwa regrets to announce the passing on early this morning of SB Moyo, our Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.

Moyo was husband to the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission chairperson, Loice Matanda-Moyo.

Kaplan Police Officer Steven Aucoin was fired following an investigation for allegedly suggesting that it was “unfortunate” that the coronavirus pandemic had not killed off black people, officials said.
The Kaplan Police Department has released a written statement on its Facebook page:
“We are writing this to inform everyone that we were made aware of the situation with the comments on Facebook from Steven Aucoin.
In comments posted during a live stream of Gov. John Bel Edwards’ press conference on state’s COVID-19 response, the Louisiana cop stated that it was “unfortunate” that all black people weren’t killed by the virus.
Kaplan Police Chief Joshua Hardy tells KFLY that this kind of behavior from a police officer is not tolerated within the department and he fired Aucoin after they completed an investigation of the entire thread.
“There were some comments that were further up that was not suitable for a police officer to put up on Facebook,” Chief Hardy said.
