Source: Families call for Bulawayo Heroes Acre overhaul -Newsday ZimbabweBULAWAYO, Aug. 10 (NewsDay Live) — Families of fallen heroes buried at the Bulawayo Provincial Heroes Acre have called for an overhaul of the site, citing difficulties in locating graves, incomplete tombstones, vandalism, soil erosion and inadequate facilities to preserve the history of those buried there.
Abraham Nkomo, who was trying to locate a grave, said he struggled to find it despite having the grave number and knowing the deceased’s date of death.
“I came here to look for a grave, but I cannot find it.
I have the grave number with me, but some graves have been covered by grass and are no longer visible,” Nkomo said.
He said grave numbers should be clearly displayed on tombstones to make it easier for families to locate them.
