By Columbus Mabika
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro recently conferred Zimbabwe’s Minister of Defence and War Veterans Affairs Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri with the Francisco de Miranda award, the country’s highest civilian honour.
The Order of Francisco de Miranda is conferred on Venezuelan citizens and foreigners with outstanding contribution to the sciences, to the progress of the country and to humanity.
Francisco de Miranda was a Venezuelan military leader and revolutionary who led a romantic and adventurous life in the political and intellectual climate that emerged from the Age of Enlightenment that influenced all of the Atlantic Revolutions.
