The late national hero Brigadier General Mark Chimwaza will be buried today at the National Heroes Acre. President Mnangagwa is set to preside over the ceremony for the retired army officer, who died at sixty-eight after a battle with lung cancer.
Chimwaza was a veteran of the liberation struggle, having left school to join ZANLA forces in Mozambique during the seventies. He later received military artillery training in Romania. His career in the Zimbabwe National Army spanned decades before his retirement a few years ago.
The public is invited to attend the burial, with gates opening early in the morning. The government statement praised his service as an exemplary dedication to the nation. He is survived by his wife and three children.
