War veterans showed up by the hundreds at a school in Masvingo today. They came to Gwengavi Primary School, located in Charumbira tribal lands, for an important event. The government launched a special fund just for these former fighters. The same event kicked off new borehole water projects and housing plans for veterans.
Big names from the Zanu PF party attended the gathering at the rural school. Douglas Mahiya came as the Liberation Struggle Veterans Secretary from the Politburo. Lovemore Matuke attended as the party's security secretary. Ezra Chadzamira represented the government as Provincial Affairs Minister. Dr. Paul Tungwarara joined them as a Presidential Advisor focusing on bringing money into the country.
The celebration included starting a program where goats pass from family to family across Masvingo. Each important visitor planted a tree on the school grounds before the main activities began. They took turns putting young trees into the soil as a lasting symbol. The crowd watched as these leaders demonstrated their care for the environment.
These programs aim to help people who fought for Zimbabwe's freedom years ago. The water wells will bring clean water to veteran communities facing water problems. The housing program wants to make sure these older fighters have decent places to live. The fund itself gives money directly to veterans who struggle with daily needs and medical costs.
