The memorial service of the late former Minister of Agriculture Lands, Water, Fisheries and military commander Air Marshal Perrance Shiri has been scheduled for this Saturday at his rural home in Mutekedza Village in Chikomba.
Mashonaland East Minister of State and Devolution Apolonia Munzverengi confirmed the dates in a telephone interview with The Mirror. She said:
_We are going to hold a memorial service for the late Shiri at his rural in Chikomba this Saturday._
Shiri died on July 29, 2020, due to Covid19 and was buried at the National Heroes Acre in the capital.
His death sparked fear among many who were yet to believe that the coronavirus was deadly while some suspected foul play considering the symptoms he exhibited before death.
Shiri’s family said doctors suspected that he could have eaten poisoned food, not COVID-19, as was widely reported.
A postmortem, however, indicated that the former Air Force commander had succumbed to COVID-19.
