THE body of former Malawi Electoral Commission (Mec) Acting Chief Elections Officer Thandi Nkovole was laid to rest at the HHI Cemetery in Blantyre yesterday.<\/p>\n
Nkovole collapsed and died on Wednesday after a meeting with Mec Chairperson Jane Ansah. She was later rushed to Mwaiwathu Private Hospital in Blantyre where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
Speaking then, Ansah expressed shock at Nkovole\u2019s demise describing her as a hard working person. \u201cAs a commission, we have lost one of our hard working individuals who was so crucial in solving the challenges Mec has been facing in recent times,\u201d Ansah said then.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, top government officials including Minister of Information and government spokesperson, Nicholas Dausi attended Nkovole\u2019s burial ceremony.<\/p>\n
Dausi described the late Nkovole as a hardworking person whose service will be greatly missed at the commission. \u201cWe have indeed lost a hardworking person here, her death is a loss not only to the commission but also to the nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Nkovole joined the electoral body in 2002 as director of civic and voter education before being appointed as acting deputy chief elections officer in August 2016.<\/p>\n
She was later appointed acting chief elections officer in March this year. The late Nkovole is survived by two daughters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
