Nkomo Would Have Been Proud Of Operation Restore Legacy: Chiwenga

Vice President, retired General Constantino Chiwenga has said that he is convinced that the late Father Zimbabwe, Joshua Nkomo would have been proud of the military’s Operation Restore Legacy which took place in November last year. The operation ultimately resulted in the fall of former president Robert Mugabe. Speaking at the launch of the Joshua Nkomo Legacy Foundation, Chiwenga said,

I am convinced that Dr Nkomo would have been proud of what we have achieved from November last year to date.

We stand at the dawn of a new era, the Second Republic. The election season has come and is also behind us. It is time to heal the electoral wounds and seek a true binding of hearts aimed towards the common goal of a better country, greater service delivery, uplifted peoples, social harmony and national peace.

…We have never stopped thinking on how to play a part to honour our great leader Dr Nkomo. Therefore, we set out a path to participate and contribute to his Legacy Restoration Programme…As leadership, we have cautioned that peace will not come until together as a people we recognise fully and acknowledge the role played by Father Zimbabwe and other heroes and heroines in liberating and developing this country.
