President Mnangagwa changed Tomlinson Police Depot to Chimoio Camp Depot during a ceremony. He opened four apartment buildings for police officers at the same event. The apartments contain 96 units for officers from constable to inspector ranks. The government wants to honor Zimbabwe freedom fighters through building name changes. Colonial rulers used names to control people and land.
Fresh names help save history and teach true stories about the past. Name changes build unity and pride among citizens across the country. Morris Depot became Mkushi Police Academy earlier as part of the effort. Chimoio Camp honors the training site where fighters prepared during liberation wars. The new name remembers sacrifices made during both independence struggles.
