ZANU-PF is considering declaring the late national hero, Enos Nkala's Highfield house a national heritage site in recognition of the role it played as the venue of the revolutionary party's formation in 1963. Zanu-PF was formed at Nkala's house number 4449 Old Highfield on August 8 1963.
Party's spokesman Rugare Gumbo confirmed the move saying Nkala's house and that of President Mugabe in the same suburb have the same status.
He said the Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality Industry has already suggested that the two houses should be declared tourist attractions to promote Township Tourism.
Some of the nationalists present at the house when the party was formed include Mugabe, Mukudzei Midzi, the late Cdes Herbert Chitepo, Leopold Takawira, Edgar Tekere and Henry Hamadziripi.
