Vusumuzi Dube in Maphisa
President Mnangagwa arrived on Friday at Mahetshe Primary School in Maphisa, Matobo District, Matabeleland South Province for this year’s Children’s Party, one of the key build-up events to the country’s Independence Day commemorations on Saturday.
The President, accompanied by the First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa were met by senior Government officials for the colourful event, which has drawn more than 3 000 learners from all the country’s 10 provinces.
The annual Children’s Party is a platform designed to instill a sense of national pride, unity and appreciation of the country’s liberation history among the young generation.
Learners from across Zimbabwe are being afforded an opportunity to interact, celebrate and reflect on the values of independence, with the event also promoting inclusivity by bringing together children from both rural and urban areas.
The programme further highlights the Second Republic’s thrust on devolution, as national events continue to be decentralised, ensuring that communities across the country benefit from infrastructure development and increased access to opportunities.
