Zimbabwe celebrates its Independence on April 18. In an interview with ZBC News yesterday, deputy chair of the organising task force and Local Government, Public Works and National Housing Minister Dr Ignatius Chombo said, “Preparations are at an advanced stage and 63 buses have been hired to ferry people to various venues in all the 10 provinces.”

He said the celebrations would start with the annual Children’s Party on April 17 at Harare City Sports Centre, where President Mugabe would host young Zimbabweans from all provinces.

Dr Chombo called on Zimbabweans from all walks of life to converge at the National Sports Stadium and implored them not to wear party regalia on the big day itself.

He said Independence Day celebrations were a national event, which brought together Zimbabweans in the spirit of inclusivity and oneness. (ZBC/Herald Reporter).
