Minister Mohadi said national monuments were places with historical value often used to commemorate the event of national importance such as a war or the country’s struggles.

Minister Mohadi said they were also looking at other places with historical significance such as the Harare Central Prison where some people were hanged during the liberation struggle as well as Khami Prison to add to the list.
