The traditional leadership and community have been asking that the comrades lying there should be accorded decent reburials in the same mountain to preserve its history. We will push for the place to be declared a national shrineThere are a number of shallow graves of war veterans and collaborators in areas such as Nedewedzo, Denzva, Mupururu, Karikiriki (Crofton), and Mutanda Range, among others,” said Chief Makoni.Chief Makoni, who led the exhumation process with a traditional bira last weekend, said there were a number of sites with shallow graves in the district that need to be attended to.
He said culturally, each fallen fighter must be accorded a proper and dignified burial.
“We have mobilised resources to enable the process to kick start. It is my wish that all fallen comrades be accorded decent reburials. They died in combat for right cause to liberate their motherland so that the citizens live freely and enjoy the freedom we have today. The exhumation and reburials have been there since time immemorial,
even in the Bible, Joseph’s remains were taken to Canaan.In Makoni, we have many other places that have comrades still lying in shallow mass graves like Muzerengi (Bvekerwa Village), Nyazura, Gijima Farm (Headlands), Mayo and Chiendambuya. We still have more cases being reported by the respective communities.
“The traditional leadership is leading the exhumation process because it is both cultural and spiritual. They are the ones who perform the rituals for the process to be successful. The reburial process will help to bring closure to the families of the departed comrades. During the war, as comrades, we pledged to rebury those who would have fallen during battles. Some comrades will be
identified by their names and their relatives will be notified. Culturally, we cannot have mass graves where men, women and children lie together. Each deceased person must be buried in a separate grave,” said Cde Kagweda.during the liberation war, with fierce clashes occurring in areas such as Nyazura and Headlands, where white commercial farmers resisted the influx of comrades, determined to protect their large and productive farms.
Chairman of Manicaland Identification, Verification, Exhumation and Reburial of Fallen Heroes Trust, Cde Gift Kagweda said the process started on Wednesday following the availing of resources by the traditional leadership and clearing of the area by army engineers.

Business Liability Insurance for Small Businesses
Every business faces risk. A customer could slip and fall, a product could cause damage, or a client could claim your service caused financial loss. Business liability insurance helps protect small businesses from costly claims and lawsuits.
The most common type is general liability insurance. It may cover bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, advertising injury, and legal defense costs.
Why Small Businesses Need Coverage
Without small business insurance, one lawsuit could create major financial problems. Even if your business did nothing wrong, legal defense costs can be expensive.
Businesses that rent office space, work with clients, sell products, or operate in public should consider liability coverage.
Types of Commercial Insurance
Commercial insurance may include general liability, professional liability, workers compensation, commercial auto, cyber liability, and property insurance. The right policy depends on your industry and risk level.
