“I wish to thank president E.D Mnangagwa and ZANU PF politburo,  and Kirsty Coventry for their recommendations to accord Dr.”Tuku” National Hero status,” he said in a tweet.

He, however, maintained that despite the recognition, Tuku’s family wishes should be respected on the choice of his burial place.

“Whilst we all have our opinions of where Samanyanga’s final resting place should be we must always remember to respect the family’s wishes,” added Mliswa.
