Excitement fills Nembudziya Growth Point today as it hosts Zimbabwe's Independence Day celebrations. Young footballers there look up to Energy Murambadoro, a hometown hero who played goalkeeper for the national team at the 2004 AFCON. His career took him from Gokwe to international leagues, inspiring local talent despite their limited resources. These aspiring athletes previously played on dusty fields with no proper facilities. Their dreams seemed impossible until recently.

The government built a new stadium for the 45th independence celebrations through President Mnangagwa's initiative to bring national events to different regions. The modern facility includes six toilet blocks, reinforced terraces, upgraded dressing rooms, bucket seats, and a fresh lawn playing field. The stadium will become home to a Division One team based in Gokwe. It represents a lasting community asset capable of hosting major events for years ahead. Local soccer clubs will move from obscurity into the spotlight.

The first match features Simba Bhora against FC Platinum competing for the Independence Cup. MP Flora Buka called the stadium a sign of progress from the Second Republic's policy of rotating independence celebrations. Resident Muyaradzi Mbiri sees it as more than infrastructure, but a foundation for developing young athletes. The facility stands as proof that meaningful development can reach every corner of Zimbabwe.
