Ongai Mabika Shoko

Ongai Mabika-Shoko went to be with her Lord on the 2nd of August, 2020. She was born on the 5th of June, 1973 to parents Pikai Henry Mabika and Margret Matshaka-Mabika at Ndanga Hospital, Masvingo. She attended Tsungai, Chimatira and Gokomere primary schools and for her secondary education attended Visitation High School. Her caring nature and compassion for others inspired her to train as a nurse at Harare Central Hospital following which she worked at Mpilo Hospital in Bulawayo. Her entrepreneurial spirit inspired her to pursue various business ventures which included running a family shop and grocery store in Four Winds, Bulawayo. In her entrepreneurial pursuits Ongai not only displayed sharp business acumen but also served as a mentor to others around. In addition to being an anchor and champion in her family, Ongai's generous spirit, beaming smile and pleasant personality drew many to her. At an early age she professed her faith in Jesus Christ, a step that shaped her whole existence until the day she left to be with her maker. A woman of faith, a powerful intercessor, teacher of the word, her Christian life was as beautiful as flowers and her influence will forever remain in the lives of all who knew her. One of the final messages she shared was, "keep meditating on his word, resist fear and have faith-Psalms 27 and 91". She will be deeply missed and her beautiful life will forever be cherished. We will always carry your memory in our hearts.
