The Veterans of the Liberation Struggle of Zimbabwe (VLSZ) national chairperson Cde Jabulani Mbetu said the President had safeguarded the hard won independence and heritage by emerging victorious.
VLSZ has formed a trust for the sole purpose of advocating the reburial of veterans of the liberation struggle who are still in shallow graves and also to impart skills in various institutions for children of war veterans.
"On behalf of all comrades, I would like to congratulate His Excellency Cde Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa for winning resoundingly during the harmonised elections. You preserved our heritage. Your philosophy is great," he said.
Cde Mbetu said they would continue to support Zanu-PF, the President and the country.
He said the acceptance of war veterans as one of the leagues of the party was an indication of the trust that President Mnangagwa had in people with whom he fought the liberation struggle.
