A funeral home accidentally swapped bodies and gaslit grieving relatives about complexion changes. Nyaradzo Funeral Services in Mutare faces severe backlash after burying the wrong corpse. The Muzwati family unknowingly interred centenarian Mbuya Eddina Gwavava Mufambi instead of their eighty-five-year-old matriarch Mbuya Nerita Muyambo. Staff allegedly dismissed concerns regarding the deceased's appearance, blaming the mortuary makeup.
The error surfaced when Gwavava's kin rejected the body presented to them, realizing it belonged to someone else. This revelation forced Nyaradzo to admit that their hearse driver and mortician loaded the wrong remains before transporting them to Checheche Growth Point for the ceremony.
Politician Enock Porusingazi slammed the company for ignoring family objections during the viewing. He noted that mourners spent an entire night performing rituals for a stranger because employees insisted they did their job correctly despite visual evidence suggesting otherwise.
Regional manager Dereck Ndebele refused to comment on the fiasco. Meanwhile, Chipinge District Development Coordinator William Mashava confirmed exhumation paperwork has started to fix this mess. A government mortician labeled the incident sheer negligence since name tags should prevent such nightmares.
