Former police Senior Assistant Commissioner Bothwell Gift Mugariri, who was declared a liberation war hero was buried at his Haighton Farm in Banket on Tuesday.
Cde Mugariri, whose Chimurenga name was Muchina Hondo, died at the farm last week aged 62.
He retired in 2008 on medical grounds after he was involved in a serious car accident in 2007, which left him wheelchair-bound.
Minister of State for Mashonaland West Provincial Affairs Mary Mliswa-Chikoka described Cde Mugariri as a humble and resilient cadre who remained patriotic after fighting in the liberation struggle.
Police Commissioner General, Godwin Matanga said Cde Mugariri possessed fine qualities of a visionary leader.
