The Dailynews reports that Joshua Nkomo’s son Sibangilizwe is demanding the immediate exhumation of his late father’s remains from the National Heroes Acre in Harare.

Speaking at Dumiso Dabengwa’s 3rd anniversary commemorations in Bulawayo Monday, Sibangilizwe claimed that Nkomo resented the National Heroes.

He wants the iconic late nationalist’s remains to be reburied at his rural home in Kezi, Matebeleland South province.

Nkomo died on July 1, 1999 after a long battle with prostate cancer and was buried at the national shrine.
