Mukajanga's family seeks recognition for the overlooked burial ground connected to Martyrs' Day. #LegacyRecognition #Mukajanga

The family of Mukajanga, the unsung hero behind the creation of Martyrs' Day, is calling for recognition of their neglected legacy. Despite his pivotal role in this significant commemoration, Mukajanga's family feels their name has been overshadowed and their burial ground forgotten. The day dedicated to honoring the country's heroes and their sacrifices originated from Mukajanga's noble act, yet his own kin are struggling to preserve his memory. Their plea for acknowledgment highlights the disparity between the fame of the event and the anonymity of those directly involved. As the nation commemorates Martyrs' Day, Mukajanga's family hopes to shine a light on his contributions and secure the recognition they deserve.
