Government will soon consider changing the name of the road that stretches from Zanu-PF Headquarters to Rainbow Towers Hotel from Pennefather Avenue and name it after one of the country's national heroes, Home Affairs Minister Ignatius Chombo, has said the road is named after Lieutenant Colonel Pennefather, who led the Pioneer Column to invade Zimbabwe.

Yesterday marked 126 years after Lt Col Pennefather led the Pioneer Column into Zimbabwe.

Chombo said although he does not chair the committee responsible for changing road names, he would push for that.
