People are excited about the big party coming to Nembudziya soon. The whole town buzzes with energy as everyone prepares for April 18, which marks forty-five years since Zimbabwe became free from colonial rule. The main events happen near the Mutora area, just outside Nembudziya Growth Point in Gokwe North. This celebration travels to different places each year because the government wants all regions to share important national moments.
The government picked a special message for this year: "Zim@45: Devolve and Develop Together Towards Vision 2030." Workers rush to finish building stages, paths, and viewing areas at three key spots—the main arena, music show location, and children's event space. About 100,000 visitors might travel from across all ten provinces to join these special activities. The crowds need water, which explains why teams drilled 110 new boreholes throughout the Gokwe North and South districts.
Children play a big part in these celebrations with their very special day planned for April 17. More than 3,050 young people from everywhere in Zimbabwe will gather at Nyamuroro High School. They represent the future of the country and bring fresh energy to these important remembrances. The government makes sure these young guests receive proper care during their stay. Clean water from those new boreholes helps everyone stay healthy during the busy celebrations.
Local businesses prepare for extra customers, as visitors need places to sleep, food to eat, and items to remember their trip. Roads fill with trucks bringing supplies, workers, and early arrivals. The atmosphere changes daily as April 18 approaches. Everyone talks about where they plan to watch parades or which speeches they hope to hear. Hotels and guest houses fill up quickly as people book rooms before everything sells out.
The celebration matters because it reminds everyone how far Zimbabwe has traveled since 1980. Each year builds on past successes and points toward future hopes. People dance, sing, watch parades, hear speeches, and meet friends they rarely see. Families pack picnic baskets and arrive early for good viewing spots. The music plays late into the night as fireworks light up the sky. Nobody wants to miss this once-a-year chance to feel connected to something bigger than themselves.
