Zimbabwe will soon establish a museum to tell the story of the country’s liberation struggle (also known as the Rhodesian Bush war, from 1964 to 1979) and to display the associated materials, objects and artifacts around this history.
Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Monica Mutsvangwa said the concept and implementation plan for the LWM had been approved.
“The liberation war museum aims to unpack the rich heritage established by the sacrifices and commitment of the freedom fighters, institutions, individuals and communities to the liberation of Zimbabwe,” she said.
The museum will also highlight pre-colonial Zimbabwean civilisations as well as give an in-depth understanding of colonial conquest and how it affected the economic, political and social foundations of the country.
