He was a humble and dedicated cadre of the armed struggle, who also served the country wholeheartedly, in various capacities.

Chiwenga said the late SK Moyo belonged to a pioneering generation of freedom fighters, who started as activists in the Youth Wing of the Nationalist Movement, in the then Rhodesia. He said:

The veteran politician joined the liberation struggle in Zambia, at a tender age. He was then sent to Makerere University to further his studies.

Upon return, he was appointed Political Secretary to the then President of ZAPU, Cde J. M. N. Nkomo.

The late Cde Moyo served as Special Assistant to the President of ZAPU, for a very long time.

Moyo died at Mater Dei hospital in Bulawayo on Sunday afternoon after a long illness.

During his long political career, Moyo held several key appointments, among them diplomat, Cabinet Minister and Senator.

At the time of his death, he was the Senator for Bulilima and Mangwe constituencies.

Moyo has since been declared a national hero.
