President Mnangagwa has today presided over the burial of national hero, Brigadier General (Retired) Elasto Madzingira who died after a short illness on August 8, 2024.
Brigadier General Madzingira, whose Chimurenga name was Cde Ronald Zvenyika, died at the age of 65.
In his eulogy at the national hero’s burial at the national shrine this morning, President Mnangagwa said the nation has lost a veteran of the liberation struggle, a patriotic and loyal general officer who served the Zimbabwe Defence Forces with distinction.
“In him we had a trusted and versatile cadre who was always available for deployment in the public sector,” said President Mnangagwa.
“This culminated in his election into the August decision-making body of our ruling party, Zanu PF’s Central Committee.
“On behalf of the Government, our colossal revolutionary party Zanu PF, our nation, my family and indeed on my own behalf, I wish to express my deepest heartfelt condolences to his widow, Amai Madzingira and the children Tendai Tafadzwa, Praise, Tinotenda, Takudzwa and Tsungai,” said the President.
