President Mnangagwa has sent a condolence message to the Haritatos family following the death of ZANU PF Central Committee member Cde Peter Haritatos.
Cde Haritatos, who was known in Mashonaland West as Baba George, succumbed to Covid-19-related complications on Saturday.
He was 77.
He will be accorded a State-assisted funeral.
“The death of Cde Haritatos has robbed our nation of a reliable, loyal and committed patriot with a warm and generous heart towards his fellow compatriots,” said President Mnangagwa.
“He was denied education in white schools as punishment for his close association with blacks. His political activism and support for our liberation struggle landed him in jail.”
Cde Haritatos is father to Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Resettlement Deputy Minister Vangelis Haritatos.
