TODAY, the nation comes together to celebrate Heroes Day.
Heroes Day is a poignant reminder of the men and women who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of this beautiful country, Zimbabwe.
It’s also a day to celebrate the lives of those who also made a huge impact in this country.
For the Kadewere family, it is also a day to remember their Prince.
Prince Kadewere died on this very day four years ago.
He was the brother of France-based Warriors forward, Tino Kadewere.
He died on August 12, 2020.
His death even made headlines in Europe, where Tino was scoring for fun, during his days at Lyon in France.
Tino, now plying his trade at Nantes in the French top-flight league, is leading the tributes.
“Not a day goes by without thinking of you and missing your presence. Your laughter, your kindness, and your love continue to inspire me.
“I hold onto the memories we shared, cherishing the moments that we laughed, cried, and grew together.
“Although you are no longer physically with us, your spirit lives on in our hearts.
“I wish I could tell you one more time how much you mean to me, how grateful I am to have had you as my brother. Until we meet again, rest in peace, dear brother. You will always be loved, always be remembered,” said Tino.
The late football coach’s mother Mavis said:
“You left without a warning, I’m still in pain, my son, my prince. Your children long for their father. Continue to Rest In Peace.”
Some of the family members, who sent their tributes to H-Metro, include his brothers Prosper ‘Boss Pulo’ Kadewere, Pardon Kadewere and son Obey Kadewere.
“Your love for this beautiful game is the reason I remain committed and contribute whatever way to see our domestic game develop. I don’t want to let you down my brother” said Prosper.
“I will always remember you, my brother.
“You always wanted to win, your wish was to see football win and we are forever grateful for your lessons and we continue to cherish them.”
