Chimanimani made history as the first district to host local provincial independence celebrations. Many people came to Nedziwa High School despite the rain. Their strong turnout showed community excitement for the event that honored brave fighters who won freedom from Ian Smith's rule. The area showed thanks for being picked as part of the government's plans to spread services across the country. Officials from Mozambique joined the special day.
Manicaland Provincial Affairs Minister Misheck Mugadza checked the guard of honor before he gave the President's speech. Professor Lourenco Mateus Lindondo led visitors from Mozambique. He praised the good ties between both nations. He said they must keep these relations strong for both countries to grow. Both places share deep connections from fighting for freedom.
The Mozambican leader said Zimbabwe marks 45 years of freedom after a long struggle against colonial rule. This date makes not just Zimbabwe proud but all Southern African people, especially Mozambicans, who share a similar history. Independence brought back human dignity along with control of resources. The sacrifices of freedom fighters created the base that helps Zimbabwe stand firm today.
Mozambique opened its doors to Zimbabwean fighters during the war. Their forests provided shelter, communities provided food, and both countries worked toward freedom together. They must continue working on trade, agriculture, roads, rivers, energy, tourism, education, and defense. Peace forms the foundation for national progress. As neighbors, they need to fight threats and build regional partnerships.
Chimanimani West legislator Wilson Maphosa thanked the government for spreading national events to different areas, which helps more citizens take part. He also expressed gratitude for development projects that make life better for local people.
