Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans’ Association (ZNLWVA) secretary-general Victor Matemadanda said they had put on hold plans to demonstrate against former President Robert Mugabe.
War veterans said they would hold a demo demanding the re-naming of Zimbabwe’s international airport formerly Harare International Airport, after Mugabe to be reversed. Matemadanda said war veterans were giving time to the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) proceedings as well as allowing their members from across the country to sign a petition to push the demand. Said Matemadanda:
The protest will go on, but we want to give a chance to the ConCourt proceedings. Once this process is finished, we will sit and make a determination on when and what time we will send the petition. We have also had representations from our members as far as Plumtree, who want to sign the petition so we would want to give them time to be part of the process.

Matemadanda Zimbabwe haisi yako. You are becoming another Jonathan Moyo who thought anything to do with our colonial past, must be removed from history. Mugabe like it or not, is a part of the legacy and history of this great nation. Yu are not perfect either and when you are gone we will still celebrate you for the good you did and take lessons from the bad you did. We cannot bury history because we do not like the persons. Our children need to know who was and their contribution to where we are. Imagine if the whites had erased all history about their past dealings, we will not know our heritage. KURA!!!!!
We just need zvinhu zviri progress at this moment. removing Mugabe name will not address the bread and butter issues lets all support the vision ina ED yekuti tigadzirise economy nekumutsa mabasa munyika
