Tragedy befell a Masvingo family after their father whom they reported missing was found hanging from a tree two days later.
Nasiel Makasi (65), a former Geography teacher at Mucheke High who went missing on Thursday was found hanging in a hill near Masvingo’s water tanks on Sunday.

His lifeless body was discovered on Sunday morning by Saul Shumba, a security guard.
Mucheke High head, Vincent Maweni confirmed the death and described it as a great shock.
“We have lost a great teacher and family man. He retired from Mucheke in December 2021 after joining the institution in January, 1977. He joined the school from Gweru Teacher’s College,” said Maweni.
Masvingo Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa also confirmed the incident.
