The funeral service for the late historian and writer Pathisa Nyathi has started at the Bulawayo Amphitheatre.
Hundreds of mourners have converged to pay their last respects to the renowned author before he is buried at the Lady Stanley Cemetery.
On the podium is close confidant Deputy Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Reverend Paul Damasane.
He says Nyathi wrote 20 books that articulated the history of the liberation war against minority rule from the British colonisers, the highest number of publications authored by any writer in Zimbabwe.
