Gokwe Nembudziya, the site earmarked for this year’s Independence Day celebrations, is facing the challenge of heavy downpours that have raised concerns over the venue’s readiness. The event is set to include the ceremonial lighting of the Independence Torch by His Excellency, President Emmerson Mnangagwa, a highlight of the national celebrations.
Despite the inclement weather conditions, the permanent secretary of information, Nick Mangwana, has assured the public that plans are still firmly in place. In a statement released earlier today, Mangwana emphasized that the preparations for the Independence Day festivities will proceed as scheduled, urging citizens to remain optimistic and enthusiastic about the significant national event.
