A political analyst Albert Matarutse has said burying MDC-T late leader Morgan Tsvangirai at national Heroes Acre where many criminals lie will be a mockery to his hero status.
Tsvangirai died in South Africa on Wednesday after battling a cancer of the colon.
"I hear a lot of people calling for Tsvangirai to be declared a National Hero & be buried at the Heroes Acre. I only agree with the first part of the above statement, for Tsvangirai is indeed a National Hero, but a different type of hero.
"Heroes Acre has become so corrupted it would be a mockery to his legacy if his family were to agree for him to be buried there! I doubt that Tsvangirai himself would have wanted to be buried at that Zanu Pf shrine! Morgan Richard Tsvangirai is a hero of a different calibre & to lay him to rest amongst some of the most corrupt people to have lived would be criminal! Believe me when I say this, some of the few true good heroes who are buried at the heroes Acre would choose a different burial place if given a chance," said Mataritse.
"So personally I would not fight or raise my voice for Tsvangirai to be buried at the Heroes Acre, because I think he's far too good to be buried there! May his family continue to be comforted in the Lord."
