Acting Zanu-PF Secretary for Administration and Political Commissar Saviour Kasukuwere says the late national hero and veteran politician Cephas Msipa will be buried at Gweru Provincial Heroes Acre this Saturday.

The decision to bury him at the provincial shrine is to honour his wishes that he be buried next to his wife who died 3 years ago.

Msipa who died at the West End Hospital in Harare on Monday morning has been declared a national hero.

The body is also expected to be taken to Zvishavane his rural home which he once served as legislator.

Details of the burial arrangements regarding the movements and time are being planned by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
