President Mnangagwa said only open, frank and honest leaders will push Zimbabwe to achieve national goals.
“The consistent service rendered by the late Colonel Chenga Dube to our nation and his frank and perceptive personality, will be greatly missed. He was a courageous cadre who always spoke his mind. At all times we need cadres who are ready to speak the truth like our late national hero.
“I hope you will be forever proud and comforted by the distinguished role our late national hero played in the liberation of our beloved motherland, serving in the Zimbabwe Defense Forces and within our party, Zanu Patriotic Front, as well as in public service more broadly.”
“He will be remembered fondly for his cheerful, frank and sincere contributions to both the ZANU PF Politburo and the Central Committee. He was a repository of knowledge and a repository of institutional memory, always guiding cadres on the right line of revolution. His loyalty, compassion and servant leadership, as the Member of Parliament for Makokoba Constituency, His long service, coupled with the integrity he displayed during his time at the helm of the ministry responsible for veterans of the liberation struggle, is worthy of emulation.
He was addressing mourners at the burial of national hero Colonel (retd) Chinga Dube at National Heroes Acre in Harare yesterday.
