Decentralizing National Celebrations
Hosting the Children’s Party in a rural community like Nembudziya aligns with the Second Republic’s strategy of decentralizing national events. This approach aims to promote equitable development and foster a sense of national pride among all citizens, regardless of their location. The theme for this year’s celebrations, “Zim@45: Devolve and Develop Together Towards Vision 2030,” reflects this commitment. Herald+1Herald Online+1ZBC News+6Herald Online+6-+6
