adminZimbabweans celebrate Unity Day in style
Herald Reporters
ZIMBABWEANS yesterday celebrated Unity Day differently, with many Harare residents using it to conclude their Christmas shopping.
Others spent time with their loved ones.
Unity Day was born out of a resolution by the Zanu-PF Youth League in 1996 that proposed that December 22, the day the Unity Accord was signed by President Mugabe and the late Vice-President Dr Joshua Nkomo on behalf of all Zimbabweans, be declared Unity Day.
A year later, the day was gazetted as a public holiday through Statutory Instrument 156 of 1997.
The major highlight of the day was the international women’s football match between Zimbabwe and South Africa at Rufaro Stadium.
The Unity Day challenge ended in victory for the Mighty Warriors.
Fans flocked to the stadium with long, winding queues forming by midday.
