Soldiers dance on Joshua Nkomo's grave

Pictures circulating on social media of three soldiers dancing on top of Joshua Nkomo's grave on the 20th anniversary of his death has led to massive protests.

Joshua Nkomo, one of Zimbabwe's liberation stalwarts and former Vice President, died on 1 July 1999 and was buried at the Korean built National Heroes Acre in Harare.

Two of the soldiers are in military fatigues while the other is in civilian attire.

United Kingdom based academic Admore Xolani Tshuma said, "The Zimbabwean government needs to take action against this deviant soldiers mocking Joshua Nkomo. How can tribalists be tribal even to the dead?"

Others called on Zimbabwe army boss to act on the behaviour of the soldiers.
