‘We know who our true heroes are’
BY RUGARE GUMBO
We have learned with sorrow and sadness of the death of Cde Mukudzei Mudzi (94), the former executive secretary (general-secretary) of Dare reChimurenga of Zanu.
Cde Mudzi’s death followed that of Cde Morton Malianga (91). The two were genuine war veterans. Our prayers and thoughts are with them. May their souls rest in eternal peace.
Cde Mudzi and Cde Malianga were pioneers of the national liberation struggle, first as nationalists in Zimbabwe and later as guerrilla leaders outside the country.
Malianga played a pivotal role in the formation of all the major political parties from National Democratic Party in 1960, the Zimbabwe African Peoples Union in 1962 and later the Zimbabwe African National Union (Zanu) in 1963.
