| | Sokwanele - Heroes? |
 | | After Independence, when a Heroes Acre was proposed, we did not object to gathering our heroes together in one place where we could honour and remember them as a group, the makers of our freedom, an inspiration to the younger generation to carry on the struggle to achieve justice in a new Zimbabwe. |
 | | We brought there those who had died before the day of liberation, some of the truly greats of our history - Herbert Chitepo, Jason Moyo, Alfred Mangena, Josiah Tongogara, Leopold Takawira. |
 | | And as their colleagues in the struggle died through the 80's and 90's we took them to join their comrades at Warren Hills: Masotsha Ndlovu, T.G. Silundika, Maurice Nyagumbo, Willie Musarurwa, Sydney Malunga, George Nyandoro, Edward Ndlovu, Joshua Nkomo, Simon Muzenda and most recently Eddison Zvobgo. |
