Chimanimani updates:
Cyclone Idai heroes to be honoured

By Pardon Maguta| Citizen Journalist| The government is set to honour people from Chimanimani who played pivotal roles during Cyclone Idai.

A Zupco bus is on its way to Harare with more than 20 people from Chimanimani community who will be honoured for their works during Cyclone Idai search and rescue efforts.

Notable inclusions are Stephen and Samhere who will receive a posthumous recognition. He is one of the many heroes who perished in action trying to save others.

There are also women of valour who tried all they could in the aftermath helping survivors at different feeding points.

Of note are people who offered their vehicles, tractors and to clear the way from Ngangu to the grave yard.

There were also people from Red Cross and other organisations who played some roles.

Some of the people to be honoured are Douglas Chimupini, Mrs Chimuka of Ngangu school, Peter & Fungai Masaiti, Tafumanei Ruwo, Brighton Muchuwa, Shane Kidd, Dougy Van De Ruit, Ticha, Mrs Muresherwa, Professor, Joshua Sacco.

While everyone is a hero/heroine because everyone played a key role somehow the absence of councillors Panganai Chirongera, Joel Dumakwezu and people from Nyahode, Rathmore etc casts questions on the method of selection used.

While we cannot all go to Harare, the list must have reflected the representatives from all corners of Chimanimani.
