Zimbabwe Mourns Three National Heroes as Acting Leader Shares Memories.
Zimbabwe's Acting President, Constantino Chiwenga, spoke of his deep sadness over the deaths of three national leaders. The country will bury Major General Solomon Siziba and Chen Chimutengwende at Heroes Acre in Harare tomorrow. John Mvundura might join them.
Chiwenga remembered Siziba as one of the brave students from Manama Mission School. In 1977, ZIPRA picked him to train with other future leaders like Elson Moyo and Albert Ngulube. He learned to be a soldier at Kaunga camp under Philip Sibanda.
In 1978, Siziba experienced deadly attacks at Freedom Camp and Mukushi Camp. He then went to Moscow for special training. Later, he fought in wars in Mozambique and the Congo. His work helped create the National Prosecution Authority.
The acting president praised Mvundura's work as a diplomat. He served in many countries, from Mozambique to Cuba. He started as a young leader in ZAPU and ZANU, fighting against unfair colonial rule in Old Highfield.
Chimutengwende left his mark as both a writer and a leader. He rose to become Deputy Senator President and led Zimbabwe's team at the Pan-African Parliament.
These three men helped shape Zimbabwe's path to freedom. They worked hard to improve their country. Their deaths remind everyone of the brave people who fought for Zimbabwe's future.
The nation plans to honor them with full ceremonies at Heroes Acre. Their stories show how one group of leaders helped build today's Zimbabwe. Many will come to say goodbye to these three men who gave their lives to serve their homeland.
