Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture, Nicholas Moyo has encouraged Zimbabweans to throng Barbourfields Stadium today for the official launch of the national Culture Month celebrations, saying the event is an important reminder of the country’s identity, heritage and pride.
The celebrations, which will be headlined by President Mnangagwa as guest of honour, are expected to attract senior Government officials, ambassadors, cultural groups and hundreds of artistes from across the country.
The event is set to showcase Zimbabwe’s rich cultural diversity through music, dance, food, fashion and traditional exhibitions.
Speaking ahead of the celebrations, Moyo said Culture Month is more than just entertainment, but a platform that reconnects citizens with their roots and values.
He urged people from all walks of life to attend in large numbers and celebrate the country’s unique cultural identity.
“Such gatherings are important because they remind us who we are as Zimbabweans. Culture defines our pride, identity and heritage, and it is important for citizens to come together and celebrate that unity,” said Moyo.
This year’s celebrations are expected to place a strong spotlight on the preservation of indigenous traditions, languages and customs, while also promoting national unity and cultural tourism. Bulawayo, regarded by many as the country’s cultural hub, will take centre stage as the nation officially launches Culture Month festivities.
