A TEENAGER who courageously rescued two children from a burning house in Bindura will be awarded the Silver Cross of Zimbabwe during the 2025 National Heroes Day commemorations.
Heroes Day will be commemorated on 11 August this year.
The announcement was made by the Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Dr Jenfan Muswere, during a Post-Cabinet Briefing held in Harare on Tuesday.
Dr Muswere revealed that three individuals would receive national honours in recognition of their exceptional service to the country.
“The recipients include Dr Vladmir Shubin, former head of the African Section of the Soviet Afro–Asian Solidarity Committee, who will be honoured with the Royal Order of Munhumutapa; Innocent Chidhudhu, a teenager who bravely rescued two children from a burning house in Bindura, who will be awarded the Silver Cross of Zimbabwe; and Dr Madeline Nyamwanza, the first female African medical doctor in Zimbabwe, who will receive the Robert Mugabe Commendation Award for Service in Human Capital Development,” said Dr Muswere.
