Zimbabwe's first lady led traditional education sessions in Masvingo Province, where thousands of students learned cultural practices and moral values. Auxillia Mnangagwa visited Maungwa Secondary School in Gutu South on Monday to address concerns about youth behavior influenced by social media and Western culture. Boys learned livestock handling and traditional tool use while girls prepared indigenous dishes and demonstrated grain-pounding techniques.
Separate sessions covered topics like peer pressure, drug abuse and relationship standards. Mnangagwa told attendees that raising children requires cooperation among parents, teachers and community members. She condemned elder abuse of minors and urged families to teach responsibility and hard work rather than comfort.
Traditional leaders and war veterans attended the event. Mnangagwa distributed school supplies and food to participants. She presented a wheelchair to a 107-year-old man and gave his 96-year-old wife blankets and groceries. Provincial officials credited her programs with reducing early marriages and improving school performance across the region.
