The late Tongai Muzenda has been conferred with war hero status and will be buried at Chindito Farm in Gutu.

Mourners are gathered at 26 St. Brelades Road, Rolf Valley, Borrowdale, Harare and at Chindito.

The conferrement announcement was made by the Chief Secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet, Misheck Sibanda who said:

“His Excellency, the President and First Secretary of Zanu PF, Cde Dr E.D Mnangagwa has conferred a liberation war hero status on the late Cde Tongai Muzenda who died on 26 April 2023 and will be buried at Chindito Farm, Gutu,” said Dr Mpofu in the letter.

“The family can be contacted through our Masvingo Provincial Office. I shall be most grateful if you would make the usual arrangements for his burial and payment of benefits to his family. He is from Masvingo Province.”

Muzenda is a former Gutu West legislator who died on the spot after his vehicle hit an electricity pole when he lost control and it crushed through a perimeter wall in Borrowdale, Harare.

At the time of his death, he was general manager of the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe.

He was also a former Deputy Minister of Labour and Public Service and was the last born to the late Vice President and national hero, Simon Vengesayi Muzenda.

Eulogies have been pouring in for the late Muzenda, with many describing his death as a huge loss to Masvingo Province and the nation at large.

His family members described him as a person who was generous and open to everyone despite one’s standing in the community.
