The
cantonment area which houses the Zimbabwe National Defence University and other
institutions along Mazowe Road has been named Rodgers Alfred Nikita Mangena
Barracks.
Speaking
at the naming ceremony this morning, President Mnangagwa said similar occasions
will take place throughout the country’s provinces, notably the renaming of Headquarters
3 Infantry Brigade in Mutare after the late Cde Herbert Chitepo and the Fylde
Air Force base in Chegutu after the late Cde Jaison Ziyaphapha Moyo.
“The
naming of this institution after one of Zimbabwe’s gallant military heroes is
in line with provisions in our Amendment (No 2, Act of 2013 and Section 23 91)
which exhorts the State and all institutions and agencies of Government at
every level, to accord due respect, honour and recognition to veterans of the
liberation struggle,” he said. Herald
