Joice Mujuru goes solo

Former Vice-President Joice Mujuru and members of her family have organized their own private event at the National Heroes' Acre tomorrow to honour her late husband former army commander Retired General Solomon Mujuru after she stayed away from official Heroes' Day commemorations on Monday.

A family member who declined to be named said after laying wreaths at the grave, the family will hold a private ceremony at Mujuru's home to mark the fourth anniversary after his death in a mysterious fire at his Beatrice Farm.

The former VP boycotted the main Heroes' Day celebrations on Monday possibly for security reasons and to avoid humiliation from Zanu-PF youths and State security agents.
