President Mnangagwa has praised national hero Brigadier General (Retired) Donald Silundi Tshuma as a dedicated liberation war fighter and loyal servant of the country.
Addressing mourners this morning, President Mnangagwa said Brig-Gen (Rtd) Tshuma made immense contributions to both the liberation of the country and national development after independence.
The President said the national hero joined the liberation struggle at a young age and urged youths to emulate his spirit in advancing the country’s economic development agenda.
“Today Zimbabwe says to you, thank you, thank you, your professional and exceptional patriotism, your loyalty, your consistency and persistency are praiseworthy and worthy of emulation,” said the President.
“This flame, infinite, shall continue to fly high, and the flame of the people’s revolution shall burn eternally.
“This sacred path will never be abandoned. And until it is not surrendered, the revolution continues. Thank you very much.”
President Mnangagwa also said the country’s current economic stability and growth were a result of policies implemented by the Second Republic.
“The economic stability and growth we are experiencing in our country is not a mistake,” he said.
“It is a result of the policies we have put in place as the Second Republic.
“Many reports from global financial and banking institutions such as the IMF and World Bank support this.”
The late Brig-Gen (Rtd) Tshuma was declared a National Hero in recognition of his contribution to the liberation struggle and service to the country after independence.
