The government named Walter Basopo a National Hero after his death on Tuesday in South Africa. He worked as the director of the Central Intelligence Organisation before retirement. Security Minister Lovemore Matuke shared the news tonight. Matuke serves as Zanu PF Secretary for Security. President Mnangagwa made this decision based on Basopo's service to the nation.
Matuke said the president thought Basopo deserved national hero status because of his contributions to Zimbabwe. Basopo fought in the liberation struggle when he was young. The announcement came from party leadership this evening. The declaration honors his life's work. His early participation in the freedom movement shaped his later career.
