President Mnangagwa today presided over the ground breaking ceremony of Sadc Liberation City where Zimbabwe handed over one hectare of land to the regional bloc to allow each member country to construct a monument of its struggle against colonialism.

The event, which was attended by some Heads of State and Government from the Sadc region was held at the Museum of African Liberation, a Pan African project aimed at documenting and immortalising the continent’s liberation history.

In his keynote address, President Mnangagwa said Zimbabwe remained inspired by the region’s collective national history and the spirit of Pan African vision.

“It is therefore befitting that I acknowledge the support of Sadc member states and that of other countries, in Africa, that enabled the official African Union endorsement of the establishment of the Museum of African Liberation. This project is being spearheaded by the Institute of African Knowledge (Instak.)
