The late Major-General (Retired) Clever Shadreck Chiramba was buried at the National Heroes Acre this afternoon.

Maj-Gen (Rtd) Chiramba (66) died last week on Sunday due to Covid-19 complications at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals.

Addressing mourners at the national shrine at a ceremony held in line with Covid-19 prevention regulations, President Mnangagwa urged Zimbabweans to emulate the late national hero in defending the country.

“The life of the late national hero Maj-Gen (Rtd) Chiramba is a testimony that he was a true revolutionary, a patriot and comrade par excellence,” he said.

“Our citizenry must emulate the sacrifices made by such heroes and heroines. In the face of various forms of neo-imperialism let us all remain united and alive to the clandestine machinations by detractors calculated to reverse the gains of our independence.

“We should never grow tired of defending, protecting and safeguarding our country’s sovereignty.”
