Josiah Magama Tongogara Foundation Unveiled

Son to the late national liberation war icon Josiah Magama Tongogara, Tichafa, has started a legacy foundation to remember the role played by his father in the liberation of Zimbabwe.

To that end, Tichafa has organised an exhibition that will be held at the National Art Gallery on February 4 and has invited youths from various walks of life to attend. Said Tichafa:

As part of our tribute to comrade Tongo, the JMT Legacy Foundation will hold an art and photo exhibition in partnership with the National Gallery of Zimbabwe on February 4 during his birthday.

Rare photographs, sculptures, artwork, archival video, audio recordings and rare memorabilia will be on display.

Public lectures, talks, films and shared experiences will be held at intervals during the exhibition for students and others.

Josiah Tongogara died mysteriously in what officials called a car accident on the 26th of December 1979 soon after the signing of the Lancaster House Agreement which gave birth to independent Zimbabwe.

He was on his way to Mozambique when he met his maker, with many theories having been put forward to explain the events which led his demise.
