You have been a constant inspiration to me throughout my life – both in terms of your commitment to Zimbabwe and through your strength. courage and valor as an individual. You sowed the seed of a better future for millions of Zimbabweans. Your commitment and dedication to your country was a standard to which all Zimbabweans should seek to emulate.
A fervent and gallant soldier. patriot and reformer. Sekuru – you will be missed by all who knew you. God bless you and may you now rest in peace.”
