A civic organisation leader has indicated that a true hero is not declared by those who choose to but is a hero by his or her deeds.
Nyanda chairman Geniva Sibanda said this as the nation celebrated the National Heroes and Heroines day on August 10.
"We are talking of black Moses a Zanla force we talk of those brave Zipra fighters who stepped foot at Robert MUgabe's rural home during the liberation struggle and never harmed anyone. Those Zipra forces fought whites bitterly in Zowa, Chirau, Zwimba, Msengezi and Kutama areas. Those are heroes. We know them they are amongst us. But what do we hear self praises and praises of those close friends."
He said it was absurd for Zanu PF to claim responsibility and authority of declaring who us a hero as some of the heroes the party has declared were never at war and are not suitable to be named as heroes.
