MDC-T tells Mugabe to 'keep his Heroes Acre'

THE MDC-T has scoffed at Zanu-PF government's monopolisation of the National Heroes Acre, saying its leaders would not lose sleep over Presidents Robert Mugabe's ranting over the issue.

MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu claimed that contrary to Zanu-PF's presumptions, none among the opposition party's icons were desperate to be buried at the "partisan Heroes Acre".

He challenged Mugabe to even relocate the national shrine to his rural home in Zvimba if he so wished.

Gutu was responding to Mugabe's weekend outbursts where the 91-year-old Zanu-PF leaders chided some opposition leaders of being "sell-outs" and unfit to be buried at the national shrine.
