The Minister of Lands, Perrance Shiri on Thursday narrated how Defence Minister, Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri at one time lost a bag full of cash and documents in a fierce battle pitting ZANLA forces against Rhodesian soldiers in Mozambique during the liberation war for Zimbabwe’s independence.

He added that the now late ZANLA commander Josiah Magama Tongogara heard of the disappearance of the money and documents and ordered Muchinguri-Kashiri to go back to the battlefield and retrieve the bag.

Narrating this event at President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s farm in Sherwood, Kwekwe, Shiri said other senior male fighters present, including himself, developed cold feet to accompany her and Sobuza Gula Ndebele volunteered to accompany her and the duo managed to retrieve the bag.
