Three members of the Zimbabwe National Army probably deployed to guard the National Heroes Acre have done the most unexpected of them after recording and circulating a video and photos of themselves mocking and dancing on former Vice President Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo’s grave at the shrine.

The incident takes place at a time when the nation commemorates the 20th anniversary of the death of the man who led the struggle for Zimbabwe’s independence winning himself the nickname “Father Zimbabwe.”

Nkomo died on 1 July 1999 and was buried at the Korean built National Heroes Acre in Harare.

Two of the soldiers captured in the photos provided to ZimEye.com are in military uniform while the other is in civilian attire.

Of late some of the late gallant Zimbabweans have had their families decline Heroes Acre burials and such disrespect of the dead may trigger more resists from Heroes Acre burials.

No comment has yet been received from both government and the army despite the pictures of the soldiers going viral on social media.
