Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>LATE Zimbabwe\u2019s ambassador to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Johannes Tomana has been declared a national hero.<\/p>\n

President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, Wednesday announced the hero status conferment to Tomana\u2019s family at his Glen Lorne residence in Harare.<\/p>\n

Tomana, a former Attorney General and Prosecutor General passed away on August 6, 2023 after a short illness.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis Excellency the President again extends his deepest, heartfelt condolences to the Tomana family on the untimely passing on of a loving, hardworking and caring husband, father and guardian.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe urges the Tomana family to derive solace from the assurance that the nation he so diligently served, befittingly honours him today in this very special way, and joins them in sharing their grief,\u201d a statement from the Office of Presidential Communication (OPC) read.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, \u201cthe recognition and honour followed the late Ambassador Tomana\u2019s outstanding contribution to our nation, and distinguished career as a skilled legal practitioner, Deputy Attorney-General (2006), Attorney-General (2008) and as the country\u2019s first Prosecutor-General under the new constitution from November 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmbassador Tomana played a critical role in shaping the country\u2019s legal ethos and the prosecutorial system. The redeployment in 2020 as the Second Republic\u2019s Ambassador to the DRC saw him advance Zimbabwe\u2019s Engagement Policy with singleness of purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n
