STAKEHOLDERS on Saturday marched across Gwanda to honour the work of volunteers who have dedicated their time to humanitarian service.
Learners, volunteers, residents and various officials gathered for a march which started at Phakama Business Centre in the high density areas.
The procession moved across various high density areas before moving to the CBD and from there proceeded to Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo Polytechnic College for the belated World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day celebrations.
Traditionally marked on 8 May, this special occasion brings together partners, stakeholders, and communities to honour the extraordinary dedication of Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers and staff who work tirelessly around the world to support vulnerable communities in times of crisis —the frontline heroes who respond swiftly and selflessly to crises.
The day seeks to recognise their impact from disaster response, health outreach to community education and resilience-building initiatives.
This year’s commemorations are being held under the theme “United in Humanity”.
