Despite the call by the coalition government to desist from wearing party regalia the national Heroes Acre on Monday resembled a Zanu-PF rally. No senior official from Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's MDC party was at the shrine as it coincided with the burial of Public Service Minister Eliphas Mukonoweshuro.
But that did not stop Zanu PF supporters from humiliating Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara and Harare mayor Muchadeyi Masunda, an MDC appointee. Both men had turned up at the national shrine.
The supporters jeered as Mugabe made salutations to the two. Others sang hymns and carried placards derogatory of Tsvangirai.
"They should go. What do they want here? They are puppets," the supporters would chant, forcing Mugabe to pause his speech.
Prior to the Heroes Day commemorations, coalition government representatives from Zanu PF and the two MDC formations had met and agreed that no-one should be allowed to attend the national event in party regalia and also people were advised not to chant any party slogan as the event were a national.
