President Mnangagwa today led a Cabinet meeting with a difference, with all Cabinet members adorning the national dress, in celebration of the Zimbabwean culture.
This was an effort to observe and promote the National Culture Month, which began on May 1 and runs until May 31.
“As we gather today, adorned in our national dress, we do so not merely as a symbolic gesture but as a profound affirmation of our identity, heritage, and cultural pride,” he said during an address before the Cabinet meeting.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) proclaimed May 21 as the World Day of Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, a day set aside to promote, commemorate and celebrate the world’s diverse cultures.
“The celebrations to mark the day run for a whole month and offer a window to promote and showcase the diversity of Zimbabwean culture, encompassing both the indigenous and contemporary traits of cultural expressions. The month of May, designated as the National Culture Month, therefore, serves as a time for reflection, celebration, and the promotion of Zimbabwean traditions that define us as a people,” President Mnangagwa said.
