A picture of President Emmerson Mnangagwa arriving at heroes acre accompanying by high level security to attend the burial of the late national hero Brigadier General Ruphus Chigudu has gone viral on the internet.
The burial was attended by Vice Present Coinstantino Chiwenga, service chiefs, Cabinet Ministers, senior officials who include Monica Mutsvangwa, Professor Amon Murwira, Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri and Prosecutor General Kumbirai Hodzi.
The President told the gathering that the fact that Brig-Gen Chigudu is being buried in October is quite significant because it's the month SADC stands with the country to fight the illegally imposed sanctions on the country.
"Isu tasara, ngatirambei takabatana…in defence of our hard won independence. Violence, destruction of property and making Zimbabwe ungovernable can never be democratic and that is not what we fought for," President Mnangagwa said.
