PRESIDENT Mnangagwa is today expected to join thousands of congregants from various religious denominations at the 8th annual National Thanksgiving and Dedication Service in Bulawayo.
He arrived in Bulawayo yesterday afternoon.
The service is themed “Our Country, Our Opportunity – Celebrating the Progress and Acknowledging the Potential of Our Country, Zimbabwe.”
According to the official program, Vice President Dr Chiwenga will also attend the event at the Zimbabwe International Exhibition Centre (ZIEC).
Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi, Patron of the Zimbabwe Indigenous Interdenominational Council of Churches (ZIICC), is set to deliver an address before President Mnangagwa gives the keynote speech.
The first Zimbabwe National Thanksgiving and Dedication Service took place in December 2017, following the establishment of the Second Republic under President Mnangagwa’s leadership. He has attended the event annually since then.
The event is organised by the Faith for the Nation Campaign in partnership with the ZIICC. It serves as a vital platform for believers to connect with the country’s leadership in prayer for the nation, which is essential for the advancement and prosperity of any society.
Bishops from multiple denominations in the country, traditional leaders representatives, business sector leaders and several government officials are in attendance.
