adminin preserving and maintaining national shrines.
He said national shrines such as provincial heroes’ acres preserved the legacy and give honour and respect to the departed liberation fighters.
Mr Tome was speaking on Thursday at the Harare Provincial Heroes Acre after receiving 50 bags of cement from the Zimbabwe Aids Victims Empowerment Association, river sand from Supersands and 6 000 bricks from Beta Bricks.
“Such synergies we are witnessing today between Government and the private sector need to be nourished and developed.
“It is common knowledge that in this era of economic hardships Government cannot go it alone.
“We therefore welcome any assistance from the corporate citizens particularly that which is meant to give honour and respect to our departed liberation fighters,” he said.
He commended individuals who have also donated towards the development of national shrines and challenged others to draw a lesson from this gesture of patriotism.
Mr Tome said there was need for everybody to spare a thought for those who selflessly sacrificed their lives to bring Zimbabwe’s independence.
National Museums and Monuments director Mr Godfrey Mahachi said the shrine was facing water challenges and needed a security wall.
