The President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa called for a national grind, telling citizens they all need to pitch in for the country's development plan. He made these comments during a funeral service for a retired Brigadier General named Mark Charles Chimwaza, who passed away from lung cancer at his house in Kuwadzana, Harare. The President stated the National Development Strategy 2, which is the country's five-year economic blueprint, requires everyone's hard work and a unified direction.
He argued that the same collective effort used during the liberation war should now be applied to transforming the economy and society. The President framed the next half-decade as a key phase for reaching something called Vision 2030, which aims for an upper middle-income economy. He insisted every single Zimbabwean has a role in building what he described as a developed, modern, and prosperous society.
His speech pushed the idea of widespread participation, from local communities and individual wards up through entire districts and business sectors. He drew a direct parallel to the past, noting that every community helped win independence, and should now contribute to building the desired future.
