Farai Taruvinga, a 53-year-old legislator and businessman representing Insiza North, has passed away after a battle with cancer. He died at his family home in Hillside, Bulawayo, early yesterday morning, with Matabeleland South ZANU PF Provincial chairman Mangaliso Ndlovu confirming the sad news.

Close friend Sifiso 'Mafifi' Mpofu shared that Taruvinga had been fighting high-grade sarcoma cancer. The family will announce funeral arrangements at a later date. Taruvinga was serving his second term as a Member of the National Assembly and had established himself as a successful entrepreneur with diverse business interests.

His business portfolio included Progress Mine, Filabusi Abattoir, Skuta Irrigation Scheme, Anradel Cattle Ranch, and Marvel Shopping and Leisure Centre. As a legislator, Taruvinga was known for launching developmental projects aimed at transforming Insiza North into an economic powerhouse. A standout achievement was constructing a multi-million-dollar business complex in Gwatemba, which significantly boosted economic activity in the remote region.

Taruvinga's entrepreneurial prowess was recognized when he won the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Beyond his business and political achievements, he was deeply committed to community development and philanthropic efforts. His legacy includes substantial contributions to local economic growth and community welfare.
