Nyaradzo Group has donated 550 copies of President Mnangagwa’s official biography, “A Life of Sacrifice”, to schools in Manicaland to help instill patriotism, loyalty and a sense of national sacrifice among learners.
At the handover ceremony at Rujeko Farm in Nyazura, Minister of State for Manicaland Provincial Affairs and Devolution Advocate Misheck Mugadza spoke about the biography’s importance for all Zimbabweans, especially schoolchildren.
“We celebrate not only the life and achievements of our President but also the values his journey embodies: resilience and commitment to public service,” he said.
Adv Mugadza encouraged learners to recognise education as the cornerstone of society.
He noted that the biography offers a narrative of hope and determination, highlighting the possibilities that arise from hard work and perseverance.
Adv Mugadza urged students to read and reflect on President Mnangagwa’s experiences as sources of motivation.
Head of strategy and corporate affairs at Nyaradzo Group, Mr Batsirai Simango, highlighted the importance of partnering with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education.
“Today is not just about donating books; it’s about investing in our youth and reaffirming our commitment to national development,” he said.
Mr Simango said storytelling was a powerful tool that inspires young people to embrace values such as resilience, patriotism and servant leadership.
He hoped that the biography would encourage meaningful reflection among learners and educators, especially as the nation prepares to commemorate Heroes and Defence Forces Days.
Provincial Education Director, Mr Richard Gabaza affirmed the book’s significance as a critical resource for social studies.
The event was attended by dignitaries including Makoni South Member of Parliament Cde Albert Nyakuedzwa, junior MPs and councillors.
