CABINET has approved a 10-year schedule of venues for the country’s Independence Day celebrations, with Masvingo Province set to host the 47th national commemorations next year.
Skills Audit and Development Minister, Dr Jenfan Muswere, who chaired yesterday’s post-Cabinet media briefing, said the selection criteria and rotational system are in line with the country’s devolution agenda.
“Going forward, and in line with already-announced next venue selection criteria and the devolution agenda, Masvingo Province will host the 2027 (47th) Independence anniversary celebrations,” he said.
