Govt to avail resources for veterans repatriation

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has said his administration is availing resources towards repatriation and reburial of thousands of war veterans lying in shallow and unmarked graves in and outside the country.

Delivering his speech during the 44th Heroes Day commemorations at the National Heroes Acre in Harare yesterday, Mnangagwa said the need to accurately record, document and preserve the story of the liberation struggle could not be over-emphasised.

He also said issues related to the welfare and economic empowerment of veterans, widows and war victims would continue to be given the attention they deserve.
