'No hero status for Midzi'

Amos Midzi former Mines minister and Zanu PF Harare provincial chairperson who died in a suspected suicide at his farm in Marirangwe near Harare will not be accorded any her status by the ruling party.

Despite serving as an ambassador to the United States from the late 1980s to the early 90s and as a Cabinet minister, the Zanu PF Harare Province has refused to discuss any honour for him because he had been suspended.

Midzi, former Zanu-PF Harare provincial chairman and Cabinet Minister, will be buried tomorrow at Glen Forest Memorial Park and family spokesperson Stanley Midzi, said they would not wait for toxicology analysis results that he said might take more than two weeks to be released.

Midzi said they were not aware if Zanu-PF was planning to accord him hero status adding that party plans were not going to stop family plans.
