Retired Colonel Tshinga Judge Dube, a celebrated war hero and former Member of Parliament for the Makokoba constituency, has passed away at the age of 83. Dube died on the evening of October 3rd at Mater Dei Hospital in Bulawayo, leaving behind a legacy deeply rooted in Zimbabwe’s history.
As a senior member of the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA) during the 1970s, Dube was instrumental in the fight for the country’s independence from colonial rule. His contributions both on the battlefield and in leadership roles solidified his status as a pivotal figure in the liberation struggle.
Following Zimbabwe’s independence in 1980, Dube transitioned seamlessly into politics, representing the Makokoba constituency in Bulawayo. His dedication to public service was evident through various governmental roles, including his position as the Minister of Welfare Services for War Veterans, War Collaborators, Former Political Detainees, and Restrictees. Dube was a staunch advocate for the rights and welfare of those who fought for the nation’s liberation, earning him respect within his party and across the political landscape.
As of now, no official funeral arrangements have been announced. However, it is anticipated that the nation will come together to honor Dube’s contributions in a manner befitting his esteemed status as a war hero and public servant. The impact of his passing will resonate deeply among those who knew him and the generations who have benefited from his tireless efforts to shape a better Zimbabwe.
