After Independence, he was attested into the ZNA on April 1, 1981 and rose through the ranks to Major General in 2021 when he retired from the army.
He is survived by his wife, Sarah Bhebe and three children. Mourners are gathered at number 15 Cranborne West Married Quarters, Hatfield in Harare. Nhau/Indaba
