THE late former Zimbabwe Ex-Political Prisoners, Detainees and Restrictees Association (ZEPPDRA) Chairperson, Cde Victor Kuretu, has been declared a National Hero.
The announcement was made by the Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Harare Metropolitan Province, Senator Charles Tawengwa, at the Kuretu family home in Mufakose, Harare, this Saturday.
“I worked with Cde Kuretu for so long including during my tenure at the Harare City Council. We were also in the same Finance Committee with him. After considerations, His Excellency President Emmerson Mnangagwa has sent me here to come and announce that he has conferred national hero status on Cde Kuretu. This is what I am holding here. We are now waiting for you to advise us on burial arrangements,” he said.
ZANU-PF Harare Province Chairperson, Cde Goodwills Masimirembwa, and the ruling party’s Politburo Member, Senator Omega Hungwe, also described the late Cde Kuretu as a dedicated nationalist.
“We have lost a dedicated leader. As Harare Province, we say Cde Kuretu was one of us, whom we worked with so closely,” Cde Masimirembwa noted.
“We are so happy that we are mourning one of us. He was the Chairperson of ZEPEDRA, he was so focused and he remained focused,” Senator Hungwe added.
The family is grateful for the national hero status.
Cde Kuretu died on August 7 at the age of 83 and is survived by his wife Rita Kuretu, eleven children, and thirty-seven grandchildren.
Mourners are gathered at House number 9793 Jiri Crescent, Mufakose in Harare.
Burial arrangements will be announced in due

Renewable Energy and the Future of Sustainable Development
Renewable energy has become one of the fastest-growing sectors in the global economy as countries seek sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Solar power, wind energy, geothermal systems, and hydroelectric projects are helping reduce environmental pollution while supporting long-term economic growth and energy security.
rnrn
One of the main advantages of renewable energy is that it produces significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional energy sources. Solar panels and wind turbines generate electricity without releasing harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. This helps combat climate change while reducing health risks associated with air pollution.
rnrn
Developing countries are increasingly investing in renewable energy projects to expand electricity access and reduce dependence on imported fuels. In many African nations, solar power systems are helping rural communities gain access to reliable electricity for schools, hospitals, and businesses. Renewable energy industries are also creating employment opportunities in engineering, manufacturing, and construction sectors.
rnrn
Despite its benefits, renewable energy still faces challenges including infrastructure costs, energy storage limitations, and inconsistent weather conditions affecting power generation. However, technological advancements and government incentives continue driving innovation in clean energy systems. Experts believe renewable energy will play a major role in shaping future global economies and environmental sustainability efforts.
