Zimbabwe politics | Celebrating Heroes Day amid opposition crackdown

1 month ago 57


Today is National Heroes Day in Zimbabwe. President Emmerson Mnangagwa will mark it at Heroes Acre in Harare. It's a celebration of the sacrifices made by those who took up arms in the 1970s to liberate the country. But, activists say there is little to celebrate with over a hundred opposition leaders in prison. There is also little economic freedom as Zimbabweans struggle to survive. eNCA Correspondent Pindai Dube spoke to young people and activists about what the day means. #dstv403
