IT’S our birthday, we have turned 44 today.
The national celebrations will take place at Murambinda Growth Point in Buhera.
Tens of thousands are set to grace the occasion.
President Mnangagwa will address the nation to mark this special day when, in 1980, we transformed ourselves into an independent nation.
A proud multi-racial nation where every man and woman is equal and the racist barriers of the colonial past were demolished.
The festivities to mark the day will include the children’s party, the Uhuru Cup Challenge match pitting Dynamos against Highlanders and an all-night musical concert starting at 6 pm until 6 am.
Judging by the hype, which has been created during the build-up to the event, the 44th Uhuru celebrations promise a lot of fireworks.
Top artists performing in Buhera have endorsed the event as a “must-attend” for patriotic Zimbabweans.
What has raised the appeal of the grand event is that the celebrations have thrust Buhera into the spotlight.
Some of the influencers like DJ Fantan, Sandra Ndebele and Bio Mudimba have said this will be their first time performing in Buhera.
A business boom is guaranteed in Murambinda where traders are set to capitalise on the high turnout of people from all over the country.
Judging by last year’s edition held in Mt Darwin, Mashonaland Central, the traders will be smiling all the way to the bank at the end of the day.
This year’s edition is a bit special since it comes at a time when we are fighting drug and substance abuse as a nation.
The government has declared drug and substance abuse a new cancer that we should all tackle as a united family of Zimbabweans.
We hope our influencers taking part in this event will also raise the issue.
To those traveling long distances to catch the action at Murambinda, we urge them to exercise caution on the roads.
We should not lose our beloved ones to road accidents during the time we will be celebrating our Uhuru.
This means that drinking and driving is something we simply do not expect.
This is a very special day for us as Zimbabweans.
It is the most important day on the calendar when it comes to our holidays.
It represents our nationhood, the product of a long and bitter liberation war in which many of our brothers and sisters perished.
They fought and died for our right to be free, to be a nation of independent Zimbabweans who are free from the shackles of colonialism.
It needed a lot of sacrifice and we should always honour what they did for our country.
They put their lives on the line so that we would be free and enjoy the fruits of Independence.
We have our challenges as a country, just like many other countries around the world, but those can always be resolved.
Let’s celebrate Zimbabwe, after all it’s our birthday.
