Heroes Acre

The statue of the unkown soldier

And the unkown soldier watches over the silent hills listening out for instructions from the souls of heroes in the wind…

The last time I was at the National Heroes’ Acre in Harare was in 1994. Going there again today was like a whole new lesson in Zimbabwean history. The AK 47 split shape. Amazing. The artwork on the murals & the detail in the statue of the unkown soldiers. The stories the guide told us of the lives of the men and women buried there. Truly inspiring.

Cost: Z$8million for locals, US$10 for foreigners.
