Fighters don’t die

President Robert Mugabe yesterday said fighters who are buried at the national Heroes’ Acre do not die. They fade away, but the country will continue to talk about their good deeds for years to come. Speaking at the burial of Eric Gwanzura at the national shrine, Mugade said: “We say isu, the person, we bury here does not die, he fades away. Fighters don’t die. Soldiers don’t die: they fade away. He has done so many good things. Left behind so many good things. Those things will continue to talk about him. And we will continue to talk about his deeds. Youngsters who come after us and who are with us, we will all tell them about our leaders and their good deeds. It is those good deeds, the activities that they rendered which we will talk about.”
