President Mnangagwa has said the hosting of the national police pass-out parade in Matabeleland North demonstrates the Government’s commitment to inclusive development and decentralisation, in line with the Second Republic’s vision of equitable national progress.
Addressing graduates, security officials and invited guests at the Ntabazinduna Training Academy, the President said the decision to hold the ceremony outside major metropolitan centres reflected the Government’s determination to spread opportunities across all regions of the country.
He said the move also underscores the role of the Zimbabwe Republic Police in supporting national development goals through community-focused policing and institutional growth.
“Holding this national event, here in Matabeleland North Province, is also testament to the ZRP’s adherence to our people-centred Devolution and Decentralisation Agenda. Through programming such as this one, the Second Republic is walking the talk, and availing empowerment and development, opportunities throughout every village, ward, district and province of our motherland, Zimbabwe. No one and no place must be left behind,” said the President.
The Head of State and Government commended the police command for continuously improving training standards and producing disciplined officers capable of responding to emerging security challenges.
He urged the graduating officers to remain professional, patriotic and service-oriented, stressing that policing should always prioritise the safety and confidence of communities.
