As Zimbabwe prepares to mark 45 years of independence on April 18, the Government has intensified efforts to improve the welfare of its war veterans, ensuring they benefit from the freedom they helped secure.

In line with these celebrations, liberation war veteran Cde Murambiwa Mujuru has been handed keys to a brand-new home in Murewa, courtesy of the Presidential War Veterans Fund.

The provision of housing and other support services to war veterans is part of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s broader commitment to honouring those who fought for Zimbabwe’s sovereignty.

Speaking at the handover ceremony, the President’s Special Adviser Dr Paul Tungwarara said the house was constructed in just three weeks.

“I called Cde Daniel Garwe (Zanu PF Mashonaland East provincial chair) to secure the stand and he acted fast. Soon after that, I sent my team to the ground and they constructed the house.

“This handover symbolises our unwavering commitment to honouring the heroes of our liberation struggle,” he said.

War veterans remain a crucial pillar of the nation, and their inclusion in economic empowerment programmes, housing schemes, and other social services is a top priority.
