Honouring a Liberation Hero: Wicknell Chivayo Celebrates John Landa Nkomo’s Legacy
Wicknell Chivayo took to his Instagram account to celebrate the life and legacy of John Landa Nkomo. In his post, he referred to John Nkomo as an icon and a hero.

“CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF A LIBERATION WAR HERO…A GALLANT SON OF THE SOIL

Exactly 90 years ago, on the 22 nd day of August, an ICON, a venerated STALWART and a HERO was born in Tsholotsho. His beloved parents – of the NKOMO clan and the then fourth generation descendants of the illustrious KING MZILIKAZI, – named him JOHN LANDA, being their eldest son. It’s not by coincidence that I happen to be a BABA JOHN, by the way, and having my son as the namesake of a DISTINGUISHED HERO of the liberation war gives me the greatest honour and pride.”

US$250k Donation to John Landa Nkomo Trust to Support Legacy Projects

“As I continue to celebrate President E D Mnangagwa’s 82 nd birthday i also join the NKOMO family in celebrating the life and LEGACY of an ICONIC EDUCATOR AND DISTINGUISHED PEACEMAKER. It is against this background that I was honored to make a small donation of US$250,000.00 last week to the JOHN LANDA NKOMO TRUST to support his legacy projects in recognition of the exceptional contribution that the late HERO made in educating, developing and empowering the people of Zimbabwe in general and Matabeleland North Province in particular.”

“It is my singular honour the N KOMO family accepted this token as my personal appreciation to the IMMENSE role that this legend – though no longer amoungst us – played in shaping our future. I also gladly donated a 2024 Ford Ranger Wildtrax 3.0l V6 double cab pickup worth USD 80 000 for personal use by the Chairman of the Trust Mr Jabulani Nkomo.”
