The President gave a speech on Boxing Day. He talked about music, saying it was very important during the fight for freedom in Zimbabwe. Poor areas like Mbare and Highfield used music to inspire people.

Songs and dances made young folks want to train as soldiers. They joined the war to free the country. Music brought people together.

After the war, groups like Mbare Chimurenga Choir kept using music for good things. They promoted unity and supported the government's plans. The president thanked them for their talent and loyalty.

He said their music gives people hope and pride. It reminds everyone of what they fought for together. The songs teach values like sticking together and being tough.

The president wants the Mbare choir to keep making music about building a better Zimbabwe. He hopes they will work with young musicians, too. To show the nation's thanks, he gave them presents.

Music and art aren't just for fun. They help the economy and bring people together. They give Zimbabwe its own special identity. Places like Mbare played a big part in the struggle for independence. The president wants to remember and honor that.
