During the Heroes’ Day celebrations we also ought to cast our minds, salute and spare a moment and remember living legends like Peter Ndlovu, Benjani Mwaruwari, Andy Flower, Kirsty Coventry, Charles Manyuchi, Byron Black who continue to make the country proud on the sporting arena at both regional and global stage.

Sadly, there are other fallen sporting heroes who sacrificed blood and sweat for the sake of the nation.

They include captain Sandura Francis Shonhayi, Adam “Adamski” Ndlovu, Benjamin “Makanaky” Nkonjera, Watson “Kabila” Muhoni, Shingi Arlon, Blessing “Yogo Yogo” Makunike, Gary Mashoko, Mercedes “Rambo” Sibanda, and more. We fondly remember you!
