Former Zimbabwe People’s Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) High Command member General (retired) Jack Mpofu, born Makhethi Ndebele, has been declared a national hero.
Mpofu, who joined the liberation struggle in 1967 and rose to become a military instructor, died recently at the age of 82.
According to ZANU PF Patriots, Zanu-PF secretary for administration Obert Mpofu confirmed his status to the family, with mourners gathered in Bulawayo.
ZIPRA was the military wing of the Zimbabwe African People’s Union (ZAPU), a Marxist–Leninist political party in Rhodesia.
