President Emmerson Mnangagwa has conferred Liberation Hero status on the late veteran medical practitioner Dr Barbatus Msimanga, who passed away last Friday and was buried at Lady Stanley Cemetery today.

The announcement was made by ZANU PF Secretary-General Jacob Mudenda, who said the honour was granted by President Mnangagwa in recognition of Dr Msimanga's contribution to the liberation struggle and national development.

Emmerson Mnangagwa, in his capacity as First Secretary of ZANU PF, elevated the late doctor to Liberation Hero status, a designation reserved for individuals who made notable contributions to Zimbabwe's independence and national service.

Dr Barbatus Msimanga, aged 83, was described as a veteran medical practitioner whose life spanned both the liberation era and post-independence nation-building period.

He is survived by his wife Goodness, three children and several grandchildren.

His burial at Lady Stanley Cemetery was attended by family members and mourners who gathered to pay their final respects, as tributes continue to pour in for the late doctor's service to the nation.
