The Harare City Council has renamed Enterprise Road after the late General Solomon Mujuru.

A full Council meeting last week reportedly approved the change, which now waits for the approval of Mujuru's widow, Joice.

"Council approves the naming of Enterprise Road after the late retired army General Solomon Tapfumaneyi Mujuru after consulting the surviving spouse and his family," read the council minutes.

According to the Council, Enterprise Road was picked to be renamed after General Mujuru, because it is near the KG VI army barracks.

The Council has also renamed Rotten Row after the late Chief Justice Enoch Dumbutshena and Churchill Road after the late Professor Walter Kamba. Dumbutshena and Kamba's families have agreed to the changes.

Council said it was renaming Rotten Row after Dumbutshena because the Harare Magistrates' Courts are located along the road. It also said Churchill Road would become Professor Walter Kamba Road, because the University of Zimbabwe, where he was the first black Vice-Chancellor after independence, is in that road.
