PRESIDENT Mnangagwa and his entire Cabinet will, throughout the month of May, wear Zimbabwe’s National Fabric during every Cabinet sitting as the nation marks Culture Month.
Today’s Cabinet meeting was marked by a striking departure from conventional Western attire, no Western suits and ties, replaced instead by a vibrant, rich display of the Zimbabwe Fabric.
The move underscores Government’s commitment to affirming and celebrating Zimbabwean identity, heritage, unity, and cultural pride through the preservation and promotion of indigenous traditions, values, and artistic expression.
President Mnangagwa’s decision to wear the Zimbabwe National Fabric during Cabinet sittings throughout Culture Month also speaks to a broader national and continental calendar.
The initiative will culminate in the wider celebrations of Africa Day on May 25, reinforcing Zimbabwe’s role in continental solidarity and shared African cultural values.
In addition, President Mnangagwa will preside over this year’s National Culture Month main celebrations, scheduled for Bulawayo Province on May 21.
The programme is designed to showcase the diversity of Zimbabwe’s cultural heritage and to strengthen social cohesion through shared appreciation of indigenous knowledge, creativity, and tradition.
