Munhumutapa Day: Celebrating leadership, heritage and unity
Herald Reporter
ZIMBABWEANS from across the country are expected to converge in Zvishavane today for the second edition of Munhumutapa Day, a national event that has become a symbol of unity, pride and collective support for President Mnangagwa’s leadership. The commemorations, taking place in Zvishavane, coincide with the President’s 83rd birthday and will see more than 30 000 people, particularly youths, converging to celebrate the progress made under the Second Republic. The event, hosted on a rotational basis across provinces, was first held in Masvingo last year. Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Jenfan Muswere said the day was not only a celebration of history, but also of President Mnangagwa as a statesman and visionary. “We are celebrating the life of a statesman, a visionary, a man of the people, who has dedicated his life to the freedom and prosperity of the people of Zimbabwe,” said Minister Muswere. “He is not only a leader who is committed to an upper middle-income society by 2030 and future success for Zimbabwe, but a champion for global peace and security. A President who wants the best for everyone.” Munhumutapa Day symbolises the link between the precolonial greatness of the Mutapa Empire and the modern development drive that has seen Zimbabwe achieve unprecedented milestones in infrastructure, food security and empowerment projects. It has become a unifying moment for citizens to reflect on progress while reaffirming their commitment to the national vision of attaining an upper middle-income society by 2030. ReadMore
