I have just been informed that Robert Martin Gumbura has died at Chikurubi Maximum Hospital from Covid-19.
He was in prison for rape and was famous for having 25 wives and a church!
I met him 3 times at Chikurubi when I was jailed on trumped up charges by the regime! pic.twitter.com/H3Z4cerRjq

Confirming his death, Zimbabwe Prison and Correctional Service (ZPCS) said he died in the afternoon at the prison hospital.
I am shocked that Gumbura passed on few minutes ago at Chikurubi Maximum Prison.
Information we are receiving is that he was having mental challenges of late.
Chikurubi Maximum Prison is a concentration camp and not fit for human habitation.
