Journalists from various media houses on Tuesday toured the Museum of African Liberation being constructed in Harare.

The museum is being set up to chronicle Africa’s history from the days of slavery to colonialism and the heroic fight for freedom and the right to self-determination.

Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Jenfan Muswere said the tour was meant to empower journalists to appreciate the sacrifices made by the country’s and African Continent’s forebearers in fighting against colonial rule.

“I believe this is an opportunity for you to be able to relate to our heritage, our sacrifices and our history, because the majority of our history is from a Western perspective,” he said.

This museum is a centre of our heritage where countries across the continent have an opportunity to contribute through artefacts, through history and many other historical developments that took place,” he said.
