DEFENDING champions Simba Bhora are set to play FC Platinum in this year’s Independence Cup final, which will be held at the Nembudziya Growth Point Open Ground in Gokwe North, where national celebrations will take place.
In keeping with the Second Republic’s initiative to hold national events rotationally across the country’s provinces, the 45th Independence Anniversary Celebrations will take place in Gokwe North.
According to a post-cabinet briefing by Minister of Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting Services, Jenfan Muswere, the celebrations will run under the theme, “Zim@ 45: Devolve and Develop Together towards Vision 2030.” The celebrations are expected to attract 60,000 people.
“Simba Bhora and FC Platinum football clubs will entertain the crowds during the main Independence Day anniversary celebrations, while Herentals Queens and Black Rhinos Football Clubs will play as the first and second-placed teams in the Premier League during the 2025 Children’s Party celebrations,” Muswere said.
