The Air Force of Zimbabwe will this morning hold a funeral parade in honour of Air Commodore Pio Pasipamire Maketo, who died on Saturday about 10km outside Chegutu in a head-on collision involving an Inter Africa bus and a Toyota Hilux vehicle in which he was travelling.
The parade will take place at Jason Ziyaphapha Moyo (formerly Suri Suri) AFZ Base on the outskirts of Chegutu.
Air Commodore Maketo, who was aged 55, was Jason Ziyaphapha Moyo Base Commander.
Commander AFZ, Air Marshal Elson Moyo, in a condolence message on Monday said the AFZ remained indebted to the good leadership and exemplary service Air Commodore Maketo showed.
“The AFZ wishes to announce to the nation that on 7 January 2023, the organisation lost an Air Officer, Air Commodore Pio Pasipamire Maketo, who was Base Commander at Jason Ziyaphapha Moyo Air Force Base,” said Air Marshal Moyo.
“The AFZ is deeply saddened by the untimely, tragic loss. We shall forever remain indebted to the good leadership that he bestowed during his tenure of exemplary service in the AFZ. This dark mark will remain unbearable to the organisation and to the Maketo family.”
