The family of national hero Cde Witness Pasichigare Magunda Mangwende tomorrow commemorates the 10th anniversary of his death at the National Heroes Acre.
His widow Mrs Eben Yananiso Mangwende said the event, expected to be attended by family members and friends, was scheduled for 3pm.
“We will have a prayer session, followed by the laying of wreaths in this short and intimate programme in remembrance of my husband,” Mrs Mangwende said.
She said the family would soon publish posthumously a book that was penned by the former diplomat and national hero.
Work on the book is at an advanced stage.
Cde Mangwende, who died aged 59, was the Governor and Resident Minister of Harare Metropolitan Province and a Zanu-PF Politburo and Central Committee member.
Affectionately known by his friends as “Whiti”, Cde Mangwende was a Member of Parliament since Independence; Mashonaland East (1980-1985), Chitungwiza (1985-2000) and Non Constituency Member of Parliament (2000-2005).
He is survived by his widow and a son.
