Zimbabwe's VP Chiwenga told people at Gweru that freedom fighters gave their lives for everyone in the country, not just a select few. He spoke during an independence torch ceremony at historic Monomotapa Hall. The VP stressed how every person played their part in winning independence - from mothers who cooked food to young helpers who carried messages between groups.
The vice president warned that nobody should try erasing these memories from history because everyone fought together for national liberation. He reminded listeners that current leaders must think about future generations coming after them. People need to guard the nation carefully for those not born yet, he explained. His speech emphasized how freedom fighters wanted a better life for all citizens across Zimbabwe.
The hall where Chiwenga spoke holds special meaning as the location of the first Zanu congress back in 1964. The government declared it a national monument because of this important historical connection. The vice president's message focused on national unity plus shared sacrifice rather than individual gain or regional favoritism.
