Moses Chokuda, the MDC Gokwe youth activist who was murdered by Zanu PF hooligans in 2009 will be laid to rest at Chipere Village in Gokwe on Saturday.
The burial takes place two years after Chokuda's murderers, Farai Machaya, Abel Maposa, brothers Edmore and Bothwell Gana were convicted of murder last month and sentenced to 18 years each. Farai Machaya is the son of Zanu PF Midlands chairperson, Jason Machaya.
The burial of Chokuda also follows compensation of a 20 herd of cattle and US$15 000 by Jason Machaya to the Chokuda family. The Machaya family requested Chief Njelele to be their negotiator.
At the time of his death in March 2009, Chokuda was 25.
