The statue of Joshua Nkomo is a monument to the Zimbabwean vice president Joshua Nkomo[1][2] in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second largest city.
The bronze statue was produced by the North Korean company Mansudae Art Studio[3] and is erected at the intersection of Joshua Nkomo Street and 8th Avenue.[4] The statue was unveiled 14 years after Nkomo's death on the country's Unity Day (22 December) in 2013, a date that coincided with the signing of the Unity Accord in 1987 between Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo which united the rival ZANU PF and ZAPU parties. On the same day, Main Street was officially renamed to Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo Street and the Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo International Airport Mall was officially opened.
In 2018, free Wi-Fi was installed at the statue for tourists who come to view the monument.[5]
