The Africa Unity Square will soon be re-designed to change its format from being a symbol and remnant of British colonialism, to reflecting the aspirations of Zimbabweans.
A new structure depicting the role played by the heroes of the country's liberation war to replace the outlook of the park has already been designed.
The Africa Unity Square, formerly known as Cecil Square in colonial Rhodesia, resembles the British flag, the Union Jack.
The Zanu-PF Politburo has since discussed the eminent changes, which are now being spearheaded by the revolutionary party's cultural department.
Local Government, Rural and Urban Development Minister Ignatius Chombo is also involved in the matter.
Zanu-PF spokesperson, Rugare Gumbo, confirmed on Friday that the party intended to erase the Africa Unity Square.
